I can't say much about the app as I haven't tried it yet, but my first impression of the web page are:
Who is this for? At first I thought it might be for doctors, to sort of "crowd-source" a diagnosis, especially from the phrase "investigate, deduce and diagnose real life in minutes." But the cartoon look and the word "game" suggest not.
Now I think it might be a "try to diagnose the problem" game for lay people (I mean, non-doctors). It does look like fun.
In the industrial first-aid training I've done, we practiced and were tested in various scenarios where we had to make a basic diagnosis and provide first-aid. If I understand correctly what your app is about, improving first aid skills might be an additional benefit of playing the game.
- npsomaratna 16y agoI'm glad that you think that the app looks like fun. It is a 'diagnose the problem' game, but it is targeted a doctors and medical students. I've noted several comments that the cases appear to be simple and targeted at lay people - mainly because our blog showcased our 'demo' case, which was built to introduce users to how the app works. Most of the other cases require a medical background in order to be solved properly. Thanks for the comments on the marketing pitch - I guess that we need to fine-tune it ! I like the idea about how some simpler cases targeted at lay people might make it appeal to the general public as well.
