45 year-old patient with chest pains comes to Dr Patil’s clinic. Dr Patil logs on to First CONSULT, an Evidence-based Differential Diagnostic tool, designed for use at Point of Care to help identify the possible medical conditions by working back from the patient’s presenting signs or symptoms, drawn from a list of 1,500 diagnoses and sorted by age as well as prevalence.
Based on the onset characteristics and precipitating factors, First CONSULT enables him to ask more specific questions for diagnosis. Dr Patil found out that the patient has a family history of coronary artery disease. With the help of First CONSULT, he
suspected the patient suffered from 1 of 3
potential medical conditions.
