The DIBBS VUMC app is meant to introduce children (elementary to middle school) to the interaction between the fields of biology and computer science. Based on the "animal game,² the DIBBS VUMC app provides an interactive means of learning about how humans and computers can work together to solve medical problems by running through yes/no questions to
reach a diagnosis. Students can add diseases and findings to the app to enhance its knowledge.

This app can be a conduit for discussing topics
such as the pathologies of disease, the power of binary search, and machine learning.
