Clinicians can get a "simultaneous consult" about their patient's diagnosis using SimulConsult's diagnostic decision support software.
After some patient findings are entered into the software, it provides an initial differential diagnosis and suggests other useful findings, including tests.
"SimulConsult is the electronic avatar of the expert diagnostician."
The first module of over 2,000 diagnoses encompasses congenital neurological and metabolic diseases, along with a growing body of acquired diseases with neurological findings. The software includes a proprietary database of information about diseases entered by clinicians, referenced to the literature and peer-reviewed by experts. It uses many types of information ignored in other diagnostic approaches, including pertient negatives, temporal information, and cost of tests, and is flexible enough to include newly recognized diseases.
SimulConsult enables both generalists and specialists to transform medical diagnosis, by lowering costs, reducing errors and eliminating the medical diagnostic odysseys experienced by far too many patients and their families.
