| Category: | Medical |
| Price: | $0.99 |
| Special Instructions: | |
| Tasks or Searches Tested: | Looked up heart (organ systems), diabetes mellitus (disease), pain or swelling (symptoms). |
| Design: | Simple, uncomplicated. Easy to use with single search box. |
| Functionality: | Helps medical professional start the process of forming a differential diagnosis. Use search box to find entries in four different indexes - all entries, organ systems, symptoms, or diseases - over 1,000 entries. Search Diseases - get Etiology, related diagnoses. Search Symptoms - get diagnoses and related diagnoses. Organ System - cannot search; just a list with diseases within that organ system. |
| Content: | Basic information. No real symptom list for each disease. Seems there should be more, but it does not provide much additional information - just links the indexes. |
| Other Comments: | Positive comments from residents, med students on app store and elsewhere. Seems that it is a good starting point for them and brings up possibilities they would not have thought of. |
