The practice environment for clinical communication

Kandorra is an AI simulation platform that trains healthcare professionals through voice-driven patient encounters. Learners speak naturally. AI patients respond realistically. Every encounter is assessed.

How It Works

Four core capabilities that make Kandorra different.

Voice-First Patient Encounters

A student speaks to an AI patient out loud, in real time. The patient listens, reacts, pushes back, gets emotional. The conversation goes wherever the student takes it — no scripts, no menus, no branching trees.

Patients That Feel Real

AI patients carry anxiety, trust, pain, and reluctance beneath the surface. How the student communicates — not just what they say, but how they say it — determines whether the patient opens up or shuts down.

Build Scenarios by Describing Them

Educators create simulations by writing a description of the patient and the situation in plain language. No programming, no flowcharts, no decision trees. If you can write a case study, you can build a simulation.

Assessment Tied to the Transcript

After every encounter, an AI evaluator reviews the full conversation and scores it against the scenario's rubric. Every score is tied to a specific moment in the transcript — what the student said, how the patient responded, and what it meant.

Grounded in Your Standards, Not Generic AI

Simulations can be built on the sources your program already uses — published clinical guidelines, institutional protocols, validated assessment frameworks, peer-reviewed research. The AI doesn't evaluate against generic knowledge. It scores against the specific standards you choose. When a learner's approach deviates from an attached guideline or protocol, the debrief identifies the discrepancy and references the source.

Built for Healthcare Education

Kandorra solves specific challenges for nursing programs, medical schools, and hospital systems.

Nursing Programs

Give every student structured communication practice — not just the ones who get lucky in clinical rotations.

Medical Schools

Fill the assessment gap left by Step 2 CS. Prepare students for OSCEs with unlimited formative practice.

Hospitals & Systems

Move HCAHPS scores by building communication muscle memory, not just workshop awareness.
