This app is the upgraded version of differential diagnosis. It is advertisement free. Differential diagnosis allows one to enter multiple clinical symptoms into a problem list that is then cross referenced with a disease-symptom database to create a list of possible diagnoses. The terms used are from Snomed-CT (with a few additions by the author). This pro version also gives the option to use two separate sets of linked terms that either patients or physicians can use more easily. It also uses a more sophisticated scoring technique. When you enter a symptom, related symptoms that are either more or less specific are also used to enhance the differential diagnosis. These relationships are based on those already built into the Snomed-CT database with a few added. We use fuzzy logic in this app which more closely resembles clinical/medical reasoning. The database has over 900 diseases which cross references your symptom list with ours. Each disease can be further drilled into with a tap, allowing the user to see the pertinent positive symptoms and the negative symptoms which were not entered. Every disease or symptom term in this app is a SNOMED-CT term which is an international consensus for the best way to represent these concepts in words (unless you choose to use patient or physician symptom sets). We are carefully mapping SNOMED-CT symptoms to diseases, and our mapping is rapidly expanding and being updated regularly. Currently there are over 7,000 disease-symptom associations in the database.
