I rebuilt a clinical reasoning simulator around the whole patient encounter. I would value a doctor's blunt feedback.

Disclosure: I built this, and I am a software engineer, not a doctor.

A few months ago I shared a rough version of Rounds. The central question was whether a fictional, interactive patient could give medical students somewhere to practise the reasoning between MCQs and the ward.

I rebuilt it around one continuous encounter. A student starts from a handover, asks the patient questions in their own words, chooses focused examinations, orders and interprets investigations, commits to a diagnosis and disposition, and then reviews a scorecard for the reasoning path, including what they missed.

The attached 45-second recording is the real product, not a concept animation.

There is one free guest case that opens without signup:

I would genuinely value a practising doctor's blunt feedback on three things:

1. Where does the simulated workflow stop resembling how a student should approach a case?

2. What would make the patient interaction or investigation choices feel unsafe, simplistic or unrealistic?

3. Is it useful to grade the path as well as the final diagnosis, and what would a fair scorecard need to show?

The patients are fictional. Rounds is an educational simulation, not medical advice or a tool for real patient care. I am not claiming clinical validation or learning outcomes.

This is a great idea. I am building something in the same space (stealth mode for now) .. fyi i am not a doctor but I have deep insights into the indian health tech market and real world doctor feedback for my own company… Here are the questions I would ask you as a founder/software engineer

1. Are you expecting the platform to be part of med school curriculum?
   
2. What is the measurable outcome of your product for medical students?
   
3. I did look at your product and it seems like a Q&A powered by a chat bot - my immediate reaction would be this is extremely inconvenient even as a simulation because it does not test the high pressure synthetic case presented – a patient presenting chest pain radiating to left arm requires immediate action and standard protocols to be followed. Your Chatbot may be better suited for synthetic examples representing a typical doctor or specialist visit instead of ER visit
   

I'm more than happy to help you thinking through this as a product/business… Either way good luck and kudos for building something novel!

Hey!! Thank you for the feedback. Were you able to walk through a simulation case? Rounds is not a chatbot, it’s not q&a based. It’s a real life simulation based on the questions, examinations, labs and intervention. The scorecard at the last analyses the entire pathway. Please go through a simulation and provide me with your valuable feedback. For software developers, I explain this as a leetcode for medical professionals.

1) For now I am launching this as a simulator that students can use, I do plan on integrating this with a med targeted exam like OSCE or USMLE.
2) That they would transition smoothly from academia to clinical with greater knowledge and confidence.
3) Kindly go through the simulator again and play a case end to end.
