Does this replace standardized-patient assessment?

No. Mental Edge supplements rater-based OSCE scoring with objective Action-Unit measurements. Trained raters still provide the holistic clinical judgment; the platform reduces variance on the measurable component.

Will it work when clinicians wear masks?

Yes. The system is built around upper-face Action Units that remain visible behind surgical masks. Lower-face AUs are scored when visible and degrade gracefully when not.

How is patient privacy protected in simulation recordings?

Mental Edge is stateless by default — frames are processed and emotional vectors stored, raw video is not retained unless explicitly opted in. Edge deployment keeps everything on-premises.

What evidence base supports facial-affect feedback in clinical training?

The underlying methodology — FACS — has decades of peer-reviewed clinical use, including pediatric pain assessment, depression research, and pain-faking detection. Mental Edge applies the same Action-Unit framework in a training context.

Can this be integrated with our LMS?

Yes. Mental Edge supports SSO and exports per-trainee reports compatible with major LMS platforms — contact info@mentaledge.ai for specifics.

What's the cost for a medical school?

Pro + Analytics is $129.99/month per seat. Volume pricing for residency programs and medical schools is available — contact info@mentaledge.ai.
