Everything works offline: no account, no sign-in, no waiting for a network connection. TWO CLASSIFICATIONS, ONE APP β€’ Danish SKS (SundhedsvΓ¦senets Klassifikationssystem), with the D-prefixed Danish codes β€’ US ICD-10-CM (CMS/NCHS) β€’ Switch in Settings at any time β€” saved codes and history are kept separately for each classification, so nothing gets mixed up SEARCH BUILT FOR SPEED β€’ Results update as you type β€’ Word search in any order: "chole ac" finds "Acute cholecystitis" β€’ Combine a code with a search word: "pap K8" finds papilla diagnoses in the biliary tract chapter β€’ Recent lookups are one tap away on the Search tab BROWSE THE FULL SYSTEMATICS β€’ All 22 chapters, their groups and every code, in hierarchical order β€’ Drill from chapter to group to code, or jump straight into the detail view CODE DETAILS THAT ANSWER THE REAL QUESTION β€’ Inclusion, Exclusion and Note text for each code, where available β€’ Tap a code reference inside a note (e.g. "Z22.-") to jump straight to that code β€’ Parent codes and subcodes listed, so you can always find the more specific code β€’ Clear validity flags: "Valid primary diagnosis" or "Group code" in SKS, "Billable" or "Group code β€” not billable" in ICD-10-CM β€’ Placement overview showing chapter, group and code in the hierarchy β€’ Look up the matching Wikipedia article in Danish or English with one tap SAVED CODES AND FOLDERS β€’ Save any code with the star button β€’ Organize saved codes into your own folders β€” by department, procedure, or study topic β€’ Export or share a list of saved codes MADE FOR DAILY CLINICAL USE β€’ Native iPhone and iPad app, with a two-column layout on iPad β€’ Adjustable text size for browsing and help β€’ Full Danish and English localization β€’ Dark Mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support β€’ Built-in help section explaining the app and the ICD-10 system itself PRIVACY The app collects nothing and tracks nothing.

DATA SOURCES β€’ Danish diagnosis data: SKS, Danish Health Data Authority (Sundhedsdatastyrelsen) β€’ US diagnosis data: ICD-10-CM FY2027 (CMS/NCHS) β€’ Classification notes: machine-translated from the Norwegian ICD-10 (2012), Helsedirektoratet β€’ ICD-10 Β© World Health Organization, 1994–2012 DISCLAIMER Despite careful review of the content, no guarantee can be given for the timeliness, accuracy or completeness of the information provided.
