PreviewECG cases for your WhatsApp group

One real case a day in your WhatsApp group. Make your call, then see the answer.

Written by AI from published sources. Checked by named expert doctors before your group sees it.

Not open for public sign-up yet. Group requests are handled by hand in a small test in November, and a request does not guarantee delivery.

For education only, not clinical advice.

Checked by doctors a day before you see it

Named expert doctors see each lesson in a private group, exactly as your group will, a day early.

They tap one answer on a short WhatsApp poll. Nothing reaches your group until at least one expert taps "Good to go". Silence never sends. One expert saying "please hold it" stops that lesson for good.

Is this ready for the group?

  • ✅ Good to go
  • ✏️ Needs a fix or improvement
  • ⛔ Don't use

How it works

Group teaching is the starting point. An agent tailored to one doctor is the longer-term aim.

  1. Trusted sources

    Each group draws on open sources chosen for it, such as Life in the Fast Lane.

  2. Prepared ahead and checked

    AI turns each case into a short question and answer, then checks every line against the source. A lesson it cannot back up is not sent.

  3. Doctors check it first

    Named expert doctors see it a day early. It is sent only after an expert taps "Good to go", and any expert can ask for a fix or stop it.

  4. You get the case

    A short case with its original image, and one question to answer yourself.

  5. Then the answer

    What to spot, what to do first, what to avoid, and the source.

Who it is for

For doctors learning together, and educators exploring teaching for their groups.

Current focus
ECG cases, with images, in WhatsApp groups. Other topics, such as ultrasound and toxicology, can be built on request.
Where lessons come from
Trusted open sources, such as Life in the Fast Lane, chosen for each group. Every lesson names its source and links to it, so you can follow it up. We use open sources and follow their terms.
For your group
Tell us your specialty and preferred sources. Requests are considered by hand; group access is not self-serve.
For one doctor
A proposed personalised Teaching agent. Joining the waitlist expresses interest; it does not provide access.

Want one of your own?

Personalised teaching is the aim. The one-to-one agent is a concept, with no opening date promised.
