Epistemis
Atlas

Real clinical images, not illustrations

1,157 images and sounds across 15 collections, each with its provenance and licence in plain sight. Neither the exam nor the ward will show you a drawing.

The breakdown

What is there exactly, collection by collection

Anyone can write "over a thousand images". This is the real split, counted over the files that ship inside the app.

How it works

Seeing an image is not recognising one

Covered first, explained after

Every item opens with the findings hidden so you can read it yourself, then reveals them. Recognising with the answer already on screen trains nothing.

The sounds, with headphones

38 cardiac and pulmonary auscultation recordings. You do not learn a murmur by reading its description.

With licence and provenance

Every image declares where it comes from and under which licence it is used. That is what separates an atlas from a folder of screenshots.

On the device

Images and sounds ship packaged. In the radiology basement — exactly where you would need them — there is no signal.

To study with, not to diagnose with

Epistemis is educational and revision material. It is not a medical device, it does not diagnose or prescribe, and it is no substitute for formal medical training, current clinical guidelines or a health professional's judgement.

Where they come from

Real specimens,
with their provenance

Not a single atlas image is a stock illustration. They come from reviewed public banks, and every card carries its source and licence in writing — even when that looks ugly.

The material

What sits behind every plate

A light box, a microscope and somebody revising. The atlas comes out of the same places where the studying happens.

An atlas that prints the diagnosis next to the image does not train you to look: it trains you to read the caption.

That is why the interpretation stays covered until you ask for it.
