Digi vs Dimedus

This app is designed for early clinicians to practice using diagnostic testing to arrive at a simulated patient's diagnosis. Patient histories are provided - the goal of playing is to choose diagnostic tests to get to the right diagnosis as efficiently as possible. Each test accrues additional expense, and users can compare their costs to that of the experienced clinician. Just as in real life, making incorrect choices still provides valuable learning as feedback from experienced clinicians follows diagnosis selections. In addition, some cases will also provide opportunity for making choices in patient management, with clinical feedback provided for all selections. Hyperlinks to relevant literature are included for easy access to further information. Once diagnosis is made, users will have opportunity to provide specific feedback through a survey link - we hope you'll fill it out and help faculty make this as useful a learning tool as possible! This app was built through a partnership between Jump Simulation and faculty from the University of Illinois College of Medicine.

DIMEDUS is a digital platform for distance and classroom learning in the health profession that offers virtual simulations for clinical skills and reasoning development. Users can simulate being a doctor or nurse and carry out tasks such as interviewing patients, physical examination, laboratory tests, making diagnoses, providing emergency care, and performing medical manipulations. The system features scenarios based on accreditation passports, surgical interventions, and different scenario execution modes such as "learning", "perform" and "exam". It provides objective assessments with detailed reports and virtual assistants for guidance. The platform covers various medical specialties such as - obstetrics and gynecology, - anesthesiology and resuscitation, - gastroenterology, - hematology, - cardiology, - neurology, - oncology, - pediatrics, - pulmonology, - rheumatology, - nursing, - emergency care, - traumatology and orthopedics, - urology and nephrology, - surgery, - endocrinology.
