Description

A simple and fun medical game - sick or not-sick?

Your clinical impression (or "gestalt") about a patient's acuity is both critical and difficult to train. gistalt was designed to make it fun!

Your goal playing gistalt is to accurately identify which patients are sick (requiring hospitalization or immediate interventions for stabilization) or not-sick (conditions that can be safely treated with outpatient follow-up).

gistalt games are simple and fun. You'll start with a stack of patient presentations including vital signs, laboratory results and imaging. Swipe each card left (for not-sick) or right (for-sick) to see the next question. At the end of the stack, review your responses and see your score. Your gistalt score specially gauges your ability to detect the most critically-ill patients and institute the treatments that will make a difference.

New questions are added regularly and don't require an app update.

Love it!

Good, relevant, concise questions; love the “tindr” approach to sick/not sick; intuitive interface.

My only feedback is that I wish there were more questions (which I see they’re working on) and I wish there was an option to not repeat questions that we’ve already seen (unless it’s designed to repeat mistakes, in which case... maybe I’m just a slow learner 😅). Anyways I love it! Great little app for an MS3 with an upcoming EM sub-I.

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much! Working on adding new questions daily.

Very Educational

I love the simplicity of the game combined with the in-depth breakdown provided for each case. It’s a great way to test your basic skills while also providing education to those new to the field.

Excellent format

Concise and realistic, relevant clinical scenarios to working in an ER. Would love a bigger deck of clinical scenarios, but this is great for a free app that isn’t tracking by you or trying to get you to buy things.
