This study presents a novel approach to educational role-playing through an AI-based bot, leveraging GPT-4 to simulate anamnesis interviews in various learning scenarios. This study utilized a GPT-4 based digital teaching assistant, implemented through a proprietary chatbot design platform, to train anamnesis interviews in virtual settings with students from different online health care study programs. Students’ satisfaction, virtual patient’s accuracy, its realism, and quality were evaluated with a quantitative survey. The evaluation of the bot focused on student feedback, highlighting a preference for the AI-driven method due to its immersive and interactive nature. Preliminary results show that students consistently rate the language ability of the AI model positively. More than 80% of students rated the professional and content-related precision of the virtual patient as good to excellent.
