ALT An Amrita paper highlights research accomplishments on Ayurveda and learning with virtual patient simulations. A collaborative research paper titled “Learning technology for Ayurveda with pedagogically designed virtual patient case simulations” has been published in Frontiers in Medicine (Q1 | Impact Factor: 3.0). The study introduces AyurSIM, a virtual clinical simulation platform that integrates pedagogical design with Ayurvedic case-based learning to modernize traditional education practices. Developed jointly by AmritaCreate, the Schools of Computing, Ayurveda and Business at our Amritapuri campus and the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda (ITRA), Jamnagar AyurSIM addresses the gap in technology integration within Ayurveda education. The platform offers interactive, structured modules that simulate real-world patient scenarios—from initial examination to follow-up care—blending classical knowledge with contemporary instructional strategies.
