Roadmap

Here’s what we’re working on next for WhatsTheDx. Plans and timing can shift, but this is the direction we’re headed.

Diagnostic Simulator beta expansion

Ongoing

Grow the beta into a deeper, more realistic clinical reasoning experience.

  • Improve question-intent matching and add a structured debrief without allowing generated content to invent patient facts.
  • Deepen the clinically reviewed bilingual case library beyond its initial all-specialty coverage.
  • Use privacy-conscious beta signals to guide session history, reasoning feedback, and future scoring decisions.

Native mobile app development

Planned

Bring the daily case, archive, and Diagnostic Simulator into dedicated iOS and Android apps.

  • Build a fast mobile app experience around daily cases, Dx+ practice, the archive, and simulator interviews.
  • Keep accounts, Dx+ access, preferences, streaks, and case history synchronized across web and mobile.
  • Prioritize accessible one-handed use, quick launches between clinical duties, and opt-in daily case notifications.

A stronger clinical debrief

Up next

Make the result screen the educational payoff of every daily case.

  • Explain why the diagnosis fits, the decisive clue, and the tempting distractor.
  • Show the next clinical step and one transferable high-yield pearl.
  • Capture confidence before submission and build personalized calibration feedback over time.

Reasoning-first clue progression

Up next

Turn each clue into a judgment call instead of requiring a disposable wrong guess.

  • Choose between making the diagnosis or requesting the next clue for a visible score tradeoff.
  • Optionally maintain a three-item differential: most likely, possible, and cannot miss.
  • Review how your differential changed and which clue moved the correct diagnosis to the top.

Recovery cases and mastery

Planned

Turn missed cases into a personalized spaced-retrieval learning loop.

  • Bring missed concepts back after two days, seven days, and three weeks.
  • Use short variations instead of simply repeating the original vignette.
  • Track recovery cases, mastered concepts, weak topics, and cases mastered each week.

Same-case friend challenges

Planned

Make spoiler-free results the start of another case, not the end of the session.

  • Create a challenge link that lets a friend play the same case without registering first.
  • Compare clue efficiency, confidence calibration, and reasoning after both players finish.
  • Generate recognizable specialty result cards that keep the diagnosis hidden.

A post-solve Reasoning Wall

Planned

Build useful case discussion around clinical reasoning instead of generic popularity.

  • Unlock discussion only after completing the case so answers stay protected.
  • Prompt players to share the decisive clue, leading differential, tempting distractor, or next test.
  • Recognize helpful reasoning, good differentials, and useful pearls rather than simple likes.

Professional identity and meaningful leagues

Exploring

Make competition relevant to a learner’s profession, peers, and current level.

  • Profiles with a primary field, training level, strongest domain, and developing domain.
  • Friends, school, program, graduation-year, private-class, and weekly-division boards.
  • Rankings for accuracy, clue efficiency, calibration, mastery, and streaks — not volume alone.

Case quality and study tools

Ongoing

Raise the consistency of every clue ladder and connect each case to focused review.

  • Editorial review for progressive clues, accepted aliases, answer leakage, intentional distractors, citations, and specialty-appropriate difficulty.
  • An explanation for every clue plus a clear reason the strongest distractor fails.
  • Make unpublished cases available to Dx+ members before their public release.
  • Anki-ready cards, one-minute concept reviews, recovery-queue saving, and custom study lists.
