University libraries recommending Medical Joyworks
Media reviews
The A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona (SOMA) and Medical Joyworks are evolving its No. 1 medical app Prognosis to align with SOMA’s unique clinical presentation ..... Using Prognosis, students will be presented with simulated patient encounters and asked to evaluate and treat the patient.
Traditional medical education is commonly considered boring and time consuming, yet as every doctor knows, practicing medicine is interesting and challenging ... the Prognosis: Your Diagnosis app takes this idea and converts it into a simple, but effective game in which doctors play out a diagnostic process similar to real life.

If watching House on TV has you itching to sort out symptoms for yourself, then Prognosis: Your Diagnosis may be the cure. Solve medical case studies based on actual patients, with a new case added every weekend.
... its educational value is what makes this app worthwhile to students and teachers alike changing the pace of the learning process.
The game evaluates the user’s performance and provides feedback, together with a discussion written by leading consultants, physicians or surgeons.
The purpose of this app is to work through case based scenarios and decide appropriate investigations and management for the patient. In each case, a succinct history and physical examination findings are presented and then the user is required to choose the relevant investigations. Results of the investigations are then provided and a decision is needed to decide which management option is best.
Fun to use in your spare time.The interactive nature of the app for choosing diagnostic tests and management options, with feedback, keeps the user interested
