Try a Free Patient Case Today

See firsthand how Spark PCS' virtual patients prepare students for real-world situations. We’ve made three of our PCS Spark cases available for anyone to try with absolutely zero commitment. Experience PCS Spark just as your students would by interviewing one of the available patients and performing a physical. When you’re done, we’re standing by to answer any of your questions.

Valerie Miller

Clinical Interviewing Essentials

Mrs. Valerie Miller, 34 has come to the clinic today with complaints of a headache. Vital signs: T 98.8°F, BP 132/64 mmHg, P 70/min, R 20/min. Your objective is to perform a health assessment by obtaining a focused and relevant history.

Alex Kasyan

Chest Pain

Alex Kasyan is in ER bed 2. He just came in through triage. He is having chest pain 6/10 scale. We took him straight back and the tech is getting in the bed now. His wife is getting him registered. Can you get him going?

Veto Russo

COVID-19 Screening

Mr. Veto Russo, 59 y/o male, has been told to call telehealth services from home to be triaged for flu like symptoms. Patients are being encouraged to stay home unless the situation warrants an 'ER' visit; thus, your objective is to determine if emergent care is necessary.

AI-Driven Conversations

The PCS Speech Engine empowers PCS Spark digital patients to speak for themselves. PCS Spark digital patients can understand over 30,000 learner questions and respond with scenario specific responses.

Physical Exam and Orders

A robust physical exam enables learners to examine their patient from head-to-toe and note any abnormalities they may find in order to form a treatment plan. Customize physical findings in scenario authoring.

Model-Driven Physiology

Model-driven physiology brings life-like physiological responses to drug treatments in PCS Spark digital patients. Start infusions, adjust flow rate and administer IM/IV injections after setting dosage.

Automated Assessment

PCS Spark provides instant and automated performance assessment of learning objectives at the end of each scenario letting learners know which areas they did well in and which need work.
