OtoSim Companion is the perfect app to learn about the normal ear and related diseases of the ear. It was created as a companion to the OtoSim Simulator which is widely used by medical, nursing and osteopathic schools worldwide. It can also be used as a free-standing reference and otologic atlas. Images courteously supplied by Dr. Michael Hawke (copyright Michael Hawke, Hawke Library, see Legal Notice below).
OtoSims highly-acclaimed and clinically proven simulator which includes a comprehensive interactive software package is now available as a companion for all your mobile devices. Combining the contents of a professional grade otology textbook with hundreds of images from the OtoSim library, OtoSim Companion is unmatched both as a teaching tool for otoscopic teaching and as a personal, pocketable, reference manual.
Looking into the ear, with an otoscope, is one of the most poorly taught skills in medical schools. OtoSim aims to change that, and our simulator has been proven to improve diagnostic accuracy by 44% after just a one hour session.
"The right diagnosis means the right treatment. So anyone who is in any position to diagnose any ear condition, should have OtoSim" --Dr. Vito Forte/Chief of Otolaryngology, Hospital for Sick Children
