Terms of use

For practice, not for patients

MedSim's patients are simulations for medical education. Many of the library's cases are written by AI and have not yet been reviewed by a clinician, and every one is labelled. Nothing in MedSim is medical advice or clinical guidance: never use it to diagnose or treat a real person.

Accounts

Schools create their staff's and students' accounts. Keep your sign-in codes to yourself, and tell your school if you think someone else has used your account. Your school can close your account.

Using MedSim well

• Use MedSim for learning and teaching only.
• Do not enter real patients' details, or anyone's health information, into a consultation or a case.
• Do not try to get around sign-in, limits or another school's data, or overload the service.
• Do not copy the cases, people or software to use outside MedSim, unless your school's agreement allows it.

Scores

Scores are given by rules and by an AI that reads the consultation, and they can be wrong. Educators can change any mark, and a school decides what scores count for.

Voice minutes and the free trial

Each school has an allowance of spoken consultation minutes; when it runs out, students can still type. The free trial gives each visitor a few consultations a day and may change or end at any time.

What belongs to whom

MedSim, its software, people, sounds and library cases belong to VirtualVerse Studio or its licensors. Cases a school writes or changes are the school's to use in MedSim.

Availability

We work to keep MedSim running and your work safe, but we cannot promise it will never be interrupted. A school's agreement sets out the service it can expect.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version, and schools hear of important changes before they apply. Write to contact@virtualverse.studio with any question.
