Project goal
Development of a AI-assisted language training for people with an immigration background, to improve conversational skills and medical terminology to learn in German.
Project overview
EMPATH.AI – an innovative language training for foreign professionals in medicine and nursing. In a time of skilled labor shortages, we offer a solution that goes far beyond traditional learning. In our realistic VR environment, users can improve their communication skills while sharpening their empathy in dealing with patients and relatives. With avatars that respond to the users' statements using integrated Artificial Intelligence, users receive direct and authentic feedback on their utterances. EMPATH.AI makes it possible to overcome the difficulties of the occupational languages of medicine and nursing in an interactive and safe environment and to practice language in real scenarios anytime and anywhere. Whether responding to the needs of patients or communicating with relatives – our immersive learning platform prepares domain experts, who are not yet language experts, for the challenges of everyday clinical life and strengthens their self-confidence. EMPATH.AI – the innovative combination of technology, empathy, and language proficiency.
Implementation
By utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology, users' spoken words are analyzed and immediate feedback on content and tonality is provided. This interactive method enables learners to continuously improve their language skills.
Special features
- Active speaking: Users are encouraged to speak independently, which creates realistic speech training.
- AI Feedback: Analysis and feedback on spoken content and tonality using AI technology.
- Gamification: Playful elements promote motivation and learning progress.
- Medical terminology Specialization in medical terminology to develop targeted conversational skills in the medical environment.
- Assumption of role: Learners take on the role of a young doctor conducting a consultation with a virtual patient.
- Response to performance: The virtual patient reacts to poor participant performance with negative comments, which increases the pressure and authenticity of the exercise.
Results
The project supports people with a migration background in improving their German language skills in the medical field. The interactive and playful approach increases learning motivation and leads to sustainable progress in language proficiency.
Conclusion
Thanks to funding from FFF Bayern, Design4real has developed groundbreaking language training that impresses with AI support and gamification. This project offers an effective solution for learning medical terminology and promotes the integration of people with a migration background into the German labor market.
