How HeyDoctor works
Wordle meets a clinical encounter — one global case a day, grounded in real clinical reasoning.
Order investigations
Blood work, imaging, ECGs — pick the tests you'd actually order. Results come straight from the case file. No hallucinations, no guesswork.
Submit your diagnosis
Search from 1,100+ conditions. You get 3 attempts. Fewer questions asked = higher score. Can you crack it in under 10 messages?

Better reasoning, not better guessing
HeyDoctor is built around real consultations: you choose every question, every investigation, and every diagnosis. No letter options or canned clues — just you, the patient, and the discipline of working the case the way you would in clinic.
Talk like it counts
Ask anything in plain language. The AI patient answers the way a real person would — symptoms, worries, and everyday detail — not a multiple-choice hint ladder.
Order tests that teach
Labs, imaging, ECGs — choose what you'd actually order on the ward. Every result is grounded in the case file, so you learn what each investigation really buys you.
Score what clinicians do
Points reward a tight history and sensible workups — and penalize fishing expeditions. Everyone plays the same daily case, so the leaderboard reflects reasoning, not reflex.
One ritual, every day
A single new case each morning. Deep enough to matter, short enough to finish between rounds or on a commute — so clinical thinking becomes a habit, not a cram session.

One case a day is the habit I didn't know I needed. @HeyDoctor feels like real clinic — not another multiple-choice app.

I'm an internist but I never rotate through everything. @HeyDoctor forces me out of my lane in the best way.

The scoring nudges you to ask tighter questions. My residents are hooked too.

Finally something that respects how PAs actually think. Patient-led chat, real limits on messages — love it.

Board prep that doesn't feel like grinding Anki. @HeyDoctor is the closest thing to a ward encounter I can do on the bus.

We use @HeyDoctor as a quick warm-up before teaching rounds. Same case worldwide = great discussion starter.

No NPI, no hospital login — I can actually send this to friends outside the US. The daily format keeps me coming back.

Clinical reasoning isn't MD-only. @HeyDoctor is hard in the right way — you earn the diagnosis.

The investigation picker is *chef's kiss*. Results feel grounded — not like the model is making stuff up.

That trust matters when you're trying to build a real habit.

Under 10 minutes but I think about the case for an hour after. @HeyDoctor nails the curiosity gap.

Every case has a detailed clinical profile. The AI patient uses only that profile to answer your questions — in plain, patient-appropriate language. It never invents symptoms, never volunteers information, and never reveals the diagnosis.
Just a browser. HeyDoctor works on any device — desktop, tablet, or phone. No app to install.
Most players finish in 5–10 minutes. Speed depends on how efficiently you question the patient.
Every case is authored by a physician and reviewed by a second physician before it goes live. We don't ship a case that hasn't passed medical review.
