🩺 For medical, nursing & healthcare educators

Communication is a clinical skill. ZenMic creates realistic conversations between clinicians and patients (worried, confused, angry or grieving) so students and staff can hear good practice before they face it.

SPIKES, teach-back and open questions modelled naturally.

🗣️

## Many patients

Different ages, accents, languages and emotional states.

🏥

## Safe practice

Students rehearse hard conversations before clinical placements.

## How It Works

1

### Describe the situation

One sentence is enough. Add the people, the goal, a level or your own document.

2

### AI writes and casts it

A realistic script with a distinct AI voice for every person in it.

3

### Edit, generate, share

Adjust any line, create the audio, then share a link or download the MP3.

🎭

## Built on the AI Roleplay Generator for Training

Describe the situation and the challenge. ZenMic writes a realistic simulation where the customer or patient pushes back like a real person, and the professional models great technique: listening, clarifying, handling objections and closing.
