Social skills, especially communication, are essential in health sciences, particularly in Pharmaceutical Sciences.
These skills allow professionals of this area to provide a correct and effecient diagnosis or counseling to patients.
Good communication skills, coupled with knowledge of treatment protocols studied during the academic course enables professionals to obtain,
while attending a patient, all the information needed to provide the best possible care.
In order to train these skills, Virtual Pharmacy was developed. It's an interactive application that uses the Virtual Human to
simulate cases of patient care in pharmacy. This application results from a research project conducted by an
interdisciplinary team of researchers from the fields of Socio-Pharmacy and Computer Science.
Training Version
Training version of the application that provides feedback on the user's performance during the various stages of the simulation.
Use this version if you need to train treatment protocols.
Assessment version of the application that only provides the final result obtained during the simulation.
Use this version to solve the case and submit your final score for evaluation.
Access to the application Backoffice. You can see the scores of students,
add study material and add new cases or change existing ones. Authentication required!
