Understudy: Diagnosis [Demo]

Welcome to the cutting edge of medicine. As a Remote Medical Diagnosis Trainee, you're not just playing a game—you're stepping into a groundbreaking remote healthcare company. Our mission: to bring essential medical care to underserved areas, leveraging the power of AI... with your help.

The Challenge: Diagnose the Unseen

Every day for the next 47 days, you'll face a new set of compelling patient cases, all presented to you remotely. You won't touch a scalpel or even lay eyes on a patient directly. Your tools are your wits, a digital terminal, and your remote diagnostic robot.

Unique Gameplay: Command, Converse, Conclude

Our game offers a truly innovative gameplay loop centered around intelligent text-based interaction:

  • The Clumsy Robot is Your Hands and Eyes: Forget simple button prompts. Your primary interaction with the patient's physical world is through our experimental, somewhat clumsy field robot. You must meticulously type precise, step-by-step commands (<bot> Lift patient's left arm, observe if they can maintain position, tell me if there's weakness.) and interpret its literal, objective responses. This isn't just diagnosis; it's about teaching an AI how to observe.
  • Converse with AI-Driven Patients: Engage in dynamic, open-ended conversations with patients whose personalities and symptoms are driven by sophisticated Large Language Models (LLMs). Your questions, delivered through the robot, will guide their responses, revealing crucial subjective information.
  • Decipher Comprehensive Reports: Each case begins with a detailed patient self-report and initial observations from the robot. It's up to you to piece together the puzzle.
  • Submit Your Final Verdict: Once you've gathered enough information, you'll compose a text-based diagnostic report, specifying your diagnosis, the evidence supporting it, and your referral recommendation (e.g., "Refer to Emergency Department for suspected appendicitis, recommend immediate imaging.").

The Learning Curve: Guided by an AI Supervisor

Every decision you make, every command you issue, will be rigorously evaluated. An advanced LLM-powered Supervisor will provide detailed, personalized feedback on each case, simulating the highly effective Feynman learning technique:

  • Precision in Command: Learn what makes an effective robot instruction.
  • Efficiency in Questioning: Understand how to extract key information without redundancy.
  • Logical Reasoning: Discover where your diagnostic chain might have gone wrong, with deep dives into common pitfalls and differential diagnoses.
  • Mastering the Art of Remote Medicine: Your Supervisor won't just tell you the answer; they'll guide you on how to think like a remote diagnostician.

Evolving Challenges & High Replayability

Over 47 days, cases will dynamically increase in complexity, introducing ambiguous symptoms, ethical dilemmas, and even disaster scenarios where your diagnostic skills are pushed to the limit by limited robot functionalities or urgent triage decisions. Your choices here will impact patient outcomes and your overall evaluation.

Can you prove yourself as the indispensable human link in the future of remote healthcare?
