We have reached a point where computers are needed to make our medical providers act more human. The idea is to use virtual reality techniques and programs to help train doctors to deal with health emergencies and other clinical care situations. The MPathic-VR system covers a wide range of situations and real-world behaviors that are typical in a clinical situation. You can read my story on Medical Cyberworlds (who developed the system) on Dice today here.
Your first sentence above is somewhat…strange. You don’t necessarily want medical providers to act more “human”, but rather, to act in a more competent and informed manner. Otherwise, an interesting article.
