Patent attributes
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for simulating medical management of a virtual patient. In aspects, a computer model is configured to simulate a medical state of a virtual patient, wherein the model comprises a plurality of decision-based pathways, and wherein the virtual patient is associated with a medical condition of a medical subject category. Input is received from a user of a client device, wherein the input is applied to the model to cause progression along nodes of a decision-based pathway, wherein progression along the decision-based pathway corresponds to a change in a medical state of the virtual patient. When the received input causes progression along a decision-based pathway that is not in accordance with accepted medical standards, progression of a catastrophic sequence of the model for the virtual patient is initiated. The decision-based pathway may be traversed based on input from the user, wherein components of the decision-based pathway correspond to changes in a medical state of the virtual patient.
