Feature Launch
We’re excited to roll out Observational AI, a new SimCare feature built to make clinical training more hands-on, reflective, and actionable.
What Exactly is Observational AI?
Observational AI listens through a microphone during real counseling sessions or peer-to-peer roleplays. It identifies effective counseling skills, spots mistakes, and highlights key moments, giving learners specific, practical feedback they can use right away.
Observation AI: Record & Get Feedback from Your Roleplays
We’re excited to roll out Observational AI, a new SimCare feature built to make clinical training more hands-on, reflective, and actionable.
What Exactly is Observational AI?
Observational AI listens through a microphone during real counseling sessions or peer-to-peer roleplays. It identifies effective counseling skills, spots mistakes, and highlights key moments, giving learners specific, practical feedback they can use right away.
Example feedback might sound like:
→ “At 15:12, your reframing was strong. Try following up with something like ‘How does that sit with you?’ to deepen the moment.”
→ “At 2:26, your client sighed while talking about her partner—this could’ve been a chance to reflect her emotion.”
Use Cases
What makes it powerful is that it goes beyond just talking to an AI client. Observational AI works seamlessly with peer-based roleplays and current training methods. Students can record a live roleplay, get it transcribed and annotated, and receive guided feedback, all within SimCare’s deliberate practice framework.
Whether you’re using our ‘AI Client’ avatars or role-playing with a classmate, our feedback system stays with you, helping you build your counseling skills session after session.
