Turn your disease notes into an editable concept map
Pre-drawn layouts rarely match what your instructor taught. Upload your own notes or chapter and get a map of causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment you can rearrange and explore.
Why a generic template falls short
A pre-drawn disease concept map template can give you a layout, but its boxes rarely match the pathophysiology your instructor covered, so you end up copying someone else's structure.
- Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, and photos of pages
- Editable nodes so you can match your course outline
- Explorable branches that expand and collapse
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month to start
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or a photo of a textbook page and get a map based on what you actually studied.
Editable and explorable
Move branches, rename nodes, and expand sub-points so the map matches your course's framing of the disease.
Study from the same map
Turn the branches into flashcards with spaced repetition or quiz yourself on each section.
How it works
Upload your source
Add lecture slides, a textbook chapter, or your own notes in whatever format you have.
Generate the mind map
DeckOwl organizes the disease into main branches and sub-points you can edit.
Refine and study
Adjust the layout, then review the map in your browser or export it on a paid plan.
DeckOwl starts from the material you already have. Upload a lecture PDF or your typed notes, and the mind map pulls out the causes, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment for the condition in your course.
Because the map stays editable, you can reorganize it as your understanding grows. Redraw it from memory to test recall, then turn the branches into quiz questions to check the links between them.

Frequently asked questions
What should a disease concept map include?
Most maps cover the cause or pathogen, risk factors, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment. Your course may add prognosis or nursing priorities.
How do I study a disease concept map effectively?
Redraw the map from memory, then quiz yourself on each branch until you can explain how the sections connect. Checking your gaps this way works better than rereading.
Is a disease concept map free to create in DeckOwl?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, or Anki requires a paid plan.
