Abstract

The paper presents the process of conversational AI patient design and development for SBIRT skills training. SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment) is a comprehensive public behavior health approach that is commonly used by nurses and social workers to detect potential substance abuse in their patients. In the VR exam room, a nursing student practices SBIRT skills with a virtual patient powered by a conversational AI system. The development of the VR patient system was started by collecting sample dialogs from a standardized patient and a nurse practitioner. In addition, extended conversations were collected through prototypes with different interaction modes. With the intelligent virtual patient, the “SBIRT VR Training Program'’ provides the user with a diverse selection of simulated environments and personalized training. Our research focuses on the efficacy of a VR-based conversational AI training on a student’s acquisition and retention of the SBIRT training material.
