About the Software

SimulConsult's medical decision support software allows doctors and other medical professionals to combine clinical and laboratory findings and get a "simultaneous consult" about diagnosis.  The software suggests diagnoses and also identify other findings that will be most useful in reaching a diagnosis.

The software uses a statistical pattern-matching approach that takes into account the age of onset and offset of the findings in each disease.  This information comes from a large peer-reviewed community of experts, assembled in a manner similar to information in journals.  

You can use the software to help think through a particular case and you can also contribute material for others to use such as descriptions of findings in diseases.  For example, if you have just reviewed an area for a published article you can add the details of the clinical description material to the database, referenced to your article, with the result that you help people make diagnoses and find your article.
