  • Web simulator
    Patent number: 7386432
    Abstract: A method of providing a software application to different network clients from a server including maintaining one or more sets of state data, each set of state data describing the state of an instance of an application, each instance of an application corresponding to one or more network clients, updating the sets of state data in accordance with applications running on one or more computers connected to the server via a local area network and for at least one of the sets of state data generating an interface based on the set of state data and transmitting the generated interface to the corresponding network client(s).

  • Virtual patient hot spots
    Patent number: 6747672
    Abstract: A method of simulating an encounter with a virtual patient includes displaying an image of the virtual patient, receiving user selection of an area of the image of the virtual patient, and transmitting signals that associated with the user selected area of the image, the signals being based on the state of the virtual patient.

  • Patient simulator
    Patent number: 6692258
    Abstract: A method includes generating a virtual patient representative of a fictitious medical subject from execution of a simulation application that accesses a domain of medical characteristics and dynamically producing an image of the virtual patient to present to a user based on executing of the simulation application using virtual patient state data. The method also includes updating the state data by interpreting data structures defining selected virtual patient characteristics and controlling rates of changes in virtual patient state data to speed up or slow down evolution of changes in the image of the virtual patient presented to the user.
