Meet our Founders
When we started MedAscend, our vision was simple: to give every healthcare student the chance to practise real consultations before meeting real patients. During medical school, we knew how limited those opportunities can be and how much confidence and competence can grow with the right practice.
We’re building MedAscend to empower educators as much as learners. By creating realistic patient personas, institutions can deliver training that is inclusive, curriculum-aligned, and truly scalable. For students, it means learning in a safe space where mistakes become lessons and feedback builds confidence.
Our journey has already been supported by leading innovation competitions and accelerators, but the real motivation comes from hearing how MedAscend is helping learners feel more prepared for exams, placements, and ultimately clinical practice.
This is just the beginning, and we’re grateful you’re here with us. Together, we can reshape the future of healthcare education.

Create your own high-fidelity patients in minutes
Create patient scenarios that mirror your curriculum
Educators design AI patients in minutes. Age, background, and clinical symptoms can all be tailored, including facial pathologies, demographics, accents, and lived experiences. Use our authoring tools or upload a PDF and let AI autofill the scenario.
Engage in video conversations that feel real
Learners interact naturally with next-generation, high-fidelity patients who show personality, emotion, and diversity of expression. From calm and cooperative to anxious or frustrated, every conversation feels like a real clinical encounter.
Practice clinical reasoning
in every consultation
Learners move beyond history-taking into decision-making. They test differentials, practise management plans, interpret results or apply guideline-based reasoning.
Get instant detailed personalised feedback
Every consultation ends with personalised feedback that quotes student responses, highlights strengths and areas for improvement, and generates a reflection log with a full review for continued learning.
Healthcare learners need more authentic practice.
MedAscend expands clinical education beyond the classroom, giving students realistic, consistent and accessible consultation practice wherever they are from day one.
Backed by the UK’s leading entrepreneurship and innovation bodies
This is exactly the kind of tool I wish we’d had as trainees. It gives students a safe space to practise consultations before stepping into real clinical situations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Educators can design AI patients in minutes, selecting age, background, symptoms, communication style, and personality traits. This flexibility means every scenario can be tailored to teaching goals, assessment standards, and underrepresented presentations. Patient responses are powered by models fine-tuned on thousands of student–AI consultations, giving learners realistic variation in phrasing, hesitation, and reasoning while preserving clinical accuracy.
Feedback is powered by a fine-tuned analysis engine built on structured clinical frameworks and benchmarked against expert-reviewed criteria. Each consultation generates quoted responses, highlights strengths and areas for improvement, and produces reflection logs with transcripts for deeper review. Crucially, the system is fully customisable. Institutions can embed their own assessment criteria, cases, and patient profiles through our authoring tools, ensuring feedback is both consistent and aligned to local standards while remaining robust, reliable, and future-proof.
MedAscend supports typical, atypical, and multi-morbid presentations, as well as diverse demographics, accents, and communication styles. Educators can also design scenarios that represent underrepresented populations, ensuring learners gain experience with a wide range of patients. This breadth goes beyond what traditional role play or simulation can offer, helping l prepare for the realities of modern clinical practice.
Yes. MedAscend can be fully white-labelled so institutions deliver training under their own branding. Logos, colours, and design can be customised, and educators can even set background environments within scenarios to reflect their own clinics or teaching spaces. This makes the platform feel like a natural extension of the institution, while still powered by MedAscend’s reliable technology and feedback engine.
