Why students and clinicians use it
A real virtual patient
Shine the penlight, cover an eye, hold up a prism or sweep a retinoscope — the eyes respond according to the underlying physiology, not a scripted animation.
56 clinical conditions
RAPD, Horner, Adie and Argyll Robertson pupils, cranial nerve III, IV and VI palsies, INO, gaze palsies, nystagmus, tropias, phorias, Duane and Brown syndromes.
Built for OSCE practice
Practise the sequence examiners expect, then check yourself with case quizzes, clinical questions and timed assessments.
English and Arabic
The whole interface and the learning guides switch between English and Arabic, with full right-to-left layout.
Your progress, everywhere
Sign in with Apple on iPhone, Google on Android, or e-mail, and the same account, progress and results follow you between the app and the website.
Free
The app is free to download, and the simulators are free to use.
