DDx by Sketchy

DDx by Sketchy is an AI-driven educational platform that transforms traditional static case studies into interactive clinical simulations. Developed by academic faculty across various specialties, DDx offers a diverse range of cases, including both common complaints and rare diagnoses that students may not encounter during rotations.

The platform encourages critical thinking and real-time decision-making by allowing students to interact directly with virtual patients in a safe environment. Learners can build differential diagnoses by uncovering key findings from patient histories and physical exams, as well as order and review labs and tests with real-time guidance from a virtual supervising provider.

For educators, DDx provides tools to test and benchmark student progress toward clinical competency. Administrators can evaluate students' soft skills by reviewing conversation logs and receive detailed feedback and scores on students' clinical reasoning, data gathering, and diagnostic decision-making.
By making cases interactive, DDx aims to bridge the gap between didactic instruction and clinical rotations, enhancing clinical skills and decision-making for learners.
