Coalescing Ethics with Quantitative Physiology
A B2B SaaS educational platform transforming static case studies into dynamic, data-driven simulations for interprofessional healthcare training.
The Paradigm Shift
Why traditional healthcare education needs an upgrade.
The Problem
- ✖ Static Text: Traditional case studies fail to capture dynamic physiological realities.
- ✖ Missing Context: They don't accurately reflect how Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) biologically impact patients over time.
- ✖ High Friction: Instructors spend excessive hours drafting and tailoring cases for multiple professions.
The Opportunity
Leveraging PFun's physiofunctional simulation API to generate realistic patient data tailored to ethical or environmental "parameters".
"Whose problem is this: The Individual, The Organization, or Society?"
Product Architecture
Three core modules working in synergy to provide a comprehensive educational experience.
The Case Generator
Instructors use a simple interface to design or modify patient scenarios rapidly.
🏵️ Modifiable Parameters
Toggle socio-economic status, insurance, medication adherence, and behaviors (e.g., smoking).
📈 Dynamic Data
PFun API generates a realistic 14-day physiological dataset (CGM, Cortisol) based on inputs.
🎯 Objectives Mapping
Align cases with IP competencies: Roles/Responsibilities, Values/Ethics, Communication, Teamwork.
Live Simulation: "The Mrs. K Scenario"
Experience the core value proposition. Adjust the patient parameters (Instructor Input) and watch how the PFun API alters the simulated physiology (Data Output), directly changing what the students observe (Student Interaction) and the resulting Ethical Dilemma.

The Collaboration Challenge
Students must collaborate to adjust the therapy schedule, advocate for resources, and address societal questions based on the parameters set above.
