STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, and video game developer and publisher Legacy Interactive, have announced the release of Top Doc, an iPhone app that features medical content and quizzes designed to let medical students, residents and junior faculty practice and improve their visual diagnosis skills. Elsevier and Legacy Interactive developed the app's interactive format to engage and challenge users with multiple elements.
Top Doc combines in-depth content with quizzes composed of more than 600 questions and answers developed for levels ranging from novice to expert. Users play against a timer as they try to determine the correct diagnosis by viewing actual photographs depicting a condition or abnormality on the body. At the conclusion of each round, players' performances are evaluated and given a grade which they can automatically post to their Facebook account.
For players preferring to study the material in a non-competitive manner, Top Doc's review mode provides the information in a flashcard format. The iPhone app is now available for purchase in the iTunes App store.
