Your notes are everywhere. None of them help you remember.

Lecture slides in one app, ward-round jottings on paper, a screenshot of a guideline table somewhere in your photos. When the exam comes, you search three places and relearn what you once wrote down.

Write it once, link it to its sources, and stop relearning it from scratch.

How Suture works

Suture is Prognia’s note-taking app for medical students and doctors, for study notes and knowledge: a block editor with clinical templates, handwriting and drawing on images and PDFs, links to medicines and guidelines, an atlas of 5,479 medical images, and AI that turns your notes into flashcards and quizzes, for knowledge, not patient records.

  1. Start from SOAP, ward round, clinical reasoning, differential diagnosis, ECG or drug card, or open a blank page and write with Apple Pencil, a stylus or your finger.
  2. Suture suggests links to medicines and guidelines while you type, and the atlas puts the right illustration into your note. Illustrations: Servier Medical Art, CC BY 4.0
  3. Make flashcards or a quiz from the page and study them in Ward, where spaced repetition brings each card back just before you forget it.

Everything your medical notes need

Typed, handwritten or spoken, on your phone between lectures or your laptop at home.

6 clinical templates

SOAP, ward round, clinical reasoning, differential diagnosis, ECG and drug card, for case write-ups, ward-round prep and learning. No blank page.

Clinical note templates

Example. Draw with a finger, a stylus or the mouse; the pens use the anatomical colours Suture uses.

Handwriting and drawing, on images and PDFs

Pens, shapes, layers, lasso and a smart eraser, built for Apple Pencil and stylus. Write on lecture PDFs and anatomy images, and turn handwriting into text.

A 3D body

Turn and zoom the heart, the liver or the spinal cord in 3D, next to what you already know about each structure. An anatomical model, never patient data.

Your second brain
  • AI that summarises, rewrites and simplifies

    Summarise a page, rewrite it longer, shorter or in another tone, simplify it, or make flashcards and a quiz from it. AI actions come with Pro and Max.

  • Voice notes become text

    Record a thought after a lecture or a teaching session and get a transcript in your note.

  • Presentation mode for rounds and teaching

    Suture turns your headings into slides, in large type you can read from across the room. Move through them with the arrow keys or a swipe.

  • Import PDF, Word, Markdown and HTML

    Bring the lecture slides and notes you already have. Suture keeps the headings, lists and tables, ready to study.

Works with Ward, Osler and Prognia

Suture is the notebook in the middle. What you ask Osler lands in it, and what you write leaves it as flashcards.

Osler: save a sourced answer as a note

Ask Osler a clinical question, then save the answer with its numbered sources as a Suture note in one click.

Answers from Osler

Ward: your notes become flashcards

Prognia: write together with your study group

Share notes with people in your Prognia network and edit them together, with roles and version history.

Your study group on Prognia

Made for how medicine is learned

“My notes are spread over slides, paper and three different apps.”

  • Import lecture PDFs and write on them
  • Link medicines and guidelines as you type
  • Turn each page into flashcards in Ward

For knowledge and study, not patient records.

Suture is where you build what you know: lectures, guidelines, case write-ups without identifiable details, and your own reasoning. It is not a patient record system, so names, dates of birth and record numbers do not belong in it.

Your notes are stored in the EU.
