Core idea Dose, then watch exponential fall

Keep the curve in the green therapeutic band. Short half-life drugs fall fast and usually need closer timing.

Keep the drug curve in range

Choose a 36-hour case for mastery feedback, or Endure to keep the curve alive until safety or efficacy fails.

How to Play

PK as timing, not memorisation

The game compresses clinical hours into seconds. The green band is the therapeutic window, the orange dose raises exposure, and the curve falls by half-lives.

Dose, then watch exposure rise and fall through half-lives.
Short half-life usually needs tighter timing; impaired clearance or inhibition extends exposure.
Route, absorption, induction, and body mass alter the shape of the curve.
Clinical and expert modes add representative doses, holds, loading doses, and recovery decisions.
36 h Case and Endure grade time in range, toxicity, low-effect time, and recovery after interactions.

About PKWise

PKWise was created by PharmaNUS as an intuitive pharmacokinetics learning game for medical and health professions learners.

Educational purpose PKWise helps learners build intuition for half-life, therapeutic windows, interactions, and dose timing.

Learning design Fast visual feedback connects dosing decisions with simplified concentration-time curves.
