🩺 AI “patients” are training the next generation of doctors
A solo Turkish doctor just took 1st place at a major Claude Code hackathon, after building the entire project in just 3 days. The project is called MedKit, a virtual clinic where AI plays the patient.
How it works:
• Students talk to an AI “patient” via real voice conversation
• They take medical history, order tests, make diagnoses, and prescribe treatment
• The system simulates realistic patient responses in real time
Basically: practice medicine without risking real patients
Why it’s powerful:
• Bridges the gap between text
