Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Social Work OSCE (SW-OSCE) have its own rubric?
Yes. In Session Lab integrates specialized evaluation rubrics for SW-OSCE, C-OSCE, P-OSCE, and CCS-R using Bogo Performance Rating Scales and objective stance-aware clinical rubrics.
What is Level 4 Client Resistance?
Level 4 Client Resistance represents severe emotional dysregulation, advice traps, boundary testing, and high affective volatility. It challenges clinicians to maintain somatic presence, regulate tone, and practice de-escalation safely.
How does somatic and vocal presence tracking work?
In Session Lab uses privacy-respecting client-side vision and vocal telemetry to track posture, eye contact, speech cadence, interruption tendencies, and vocal empathy in real time during live audio sessions.
Is In Session Lab HIPAA compliant and private?
In Session Lab operates as a pure simulation environment with synthetic AI client profiles. No real patient Protected Health Information (PHI) is processed or stored, ensuring complete privacy and safety for deliberate practice.
Is my simulation room audio, video, or session transcript used to train AI models?
No. In Session Lab operates under enterprise-grade AI agreements with a strict Zero AI Model Training Guarantee. Practice audio, session transcripts, and clinical notes are never used to train, retrain, or improve foundational AI models. All video and somatic presence telemetry runs locally within your browser, and performance data is restricted strictly to trainee learning and authorized supervisory or faculty review within your educational or clinical program.
Which therapeutic modalities are supported for modality fidelity scoring?
The platform evaluates intervention fidelity across Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CAMS suicide risk management, and Psychodynamic approaches.
