description Shadow Health Overview
Shadow Health is a digital clinical simulation platform used in nursing and other health-professions education.

help Shadow Health FAQ
Can Shadow Health students use their own words when questioning a virtual patient?
Shadow Health's Conversation Engine is designed to support more natural interaction with digital standardized patients. Students can practice asking clinically relevant questions instead of selecting only fixed multiple-choice prompts.
What is documented after a Shadow Health assessment?
Learners record subjective and objective findings, assessment details, and other assignment results in the platform's electronic health record workflow. Documentation is part of the same Digital Clinical Experience as the interview and examination.
Are Shadow Health patients real people?
No. Shadow Health uses computer-generated virtual patients and stores no patient health information from real people in its applications. The scenarios are educational simulations for nursing and health-professions training.
What clinical skill does Shadow Health emphasize most?
Its activities combine patient interviewing, physical assessment, therapeutic communication, documentation, and clinical reasoning. That combination is why programs use it to prepare students for supervised clinical practice.
