Clinical reasoning practice for medical students

The practice every medical student needs.

Talk to a patient, organise the history, build a differential, and see what you missed. Gestalt gives medical students a place to rehearse clinical reasoning between placements.

How Gestalt works

Run a practice consultation

Simulated patient scenarios that feel real. Gestalt transcribes in real time and builds a structured history as you go — solo, with a friend, or in a group.

Make mistakes that teach

The feedback is immediate, private, and specific. Build confidence through repetition, without the performance anxiety.

Build clinical thinking

Spot differentials, catch red flags, identify the questions you haven't asked. Everything connects back to reasoning — the thinking habits that carry into practice.

Reinforce what you're learning

Study tools that test and reinforce the clinical patterns from your scenarios — multiple-choice questions, disease cards, and AI-assisted learning that builds the knowledge underpinning good reasoning.

Track real progress

See how your reasoning develops over time — not just questions ticked off. Real confidence that your clinical skills are growing.

Why the feedback holds up

AI-generated feedback, grounded in trusted medical knowledge

Gestalt uses AI to generate clinical feedback — but that AI is guided by structured medical knowledge: symptoms, differentials, red flags, medications, and context. It's what makes this safe for learning.

Built by doctors with international clinical experience, published research, and a track record in medical education.

Built with trusted knowledge partners

We partner with trusted sources to keep Gestalt accurate, current, and relevant.

New Zealand Formulary NZ Formulary partnership

Local prescribing guidance built in

Our partnership with the New Zealand Formulary means drug and treatment information reflects New Zealand prescribing standards and terminology — the right answer for where you study. As Gestalt grows, so does our network of knowledge partners.

Who we are

Built by two practising doctors and a computer scientist

Gestalt means "greater than the sum of its parts." We're two doctors and a computer scientist who saw the same problem from different angles: clinical reasoning needs practice, and practice needs scale. So we built it.

Questions you might have

Is this a replacement for clinical placements?

No. Gestalt complements your training — more opportunities to rehearse between placements. It doesn't replace supervised patient contact.

How is this different from generic AI tools?

Generic AI tools generate plausible-sounding answers from broad training data. Gestalt is purpose-built for clinical reasoning practice, with feedback grounded in structured medical knowledge and trusted sources. The difference is purpose and accountability — not just what the AI says, but what it's built on.

Who builds the clinical content?

Gestalt is built by doctors and grounded in evidence-based medical knowledge through our knowledge partnerships.

Is my practice data private?

Yes. Your sessions are yours. We collect only what's needed to improve the product and your experience, and you can request deletion at any time. See our privacy policy for details.

Do I need university approval to use this?

No. Gestalt is an independent supplementary learning tool, like a textbook or question bank.
