Teach clinical reasoning with visible symptom patterns.
For education
Use a shared 3D body chart for standardized cases, OSCEs, simulation, and documentation practice across health-professions programs. For physical therapy specifically, DevPT simLAB packages this into pre-built, objective-aligned scenarios — Pain3D remains the clinical and research platform behind it.
The teaching problem
Documentation is taught from inconsistent examples.
Flat body charts vary by instructor and template, so students practice against a moving target. A shared 3D chart gives every learner the same structured surface to capture and document against.
Clinical reasoning
Make symptom patterns visible to the whole cohort.
Distribution, spread, laterality, and symptom nature are easier to teach when everyone sees the same 3D pattern. PAINT gives students a vocabulary — Position, Area, Intensity, Nature, and Time — to reason and document with.
- Compare how different students interpret the same case.
- Teach change over time using snapshots and timelines.
In the sim lab
Standardized cases, OSCEs, and debriefs.
Author reusable case states as snapshots, run objective structured clinical exams against a consistent chart, and debrief from the exact map the student produced.
