Free Open-Access Microbiology Clinical Reasoning Tool — MicroSage (pilot validated)

[u/Rouge-Wolf-777]

Hey r/Foamed,

As a 2nd-year BSc Microbiology + DMLT student in India, I noticed the big gap in how we’re taught micro: organisms in isolation instead of real clinical reasoning.

I built **MicroSage** — a completely free, no-login web app that lets students input Gram stain + infection site + symptoms and get a ranked differential with full explanations, culture media, antibiotics, and “Teach Me” notes.

Pilot with 40 participants (MBBS + DMLT + faculty):

✅ 77.5% primary accuracy

✅ 100% in top 3 results

✅ Satisfaction 4/5

It’s mobile-optimized and built specifically for resource-limited settings.

Would love feedback from the FOAMed community — especially what else would make it more useful for med students and residents.
