1.0 Description
|
Constructing
a differential diagnosis for a patient's symptoms is a skill
that is crucial to the successful practice of medicine.
GuineaDDx
is a tool designed to help medical students, interns, and
residents develop their ability to construct differential
diagnoses. With GuineaDDx, you can create lists of possible
differential diagnoses based on a presenting symptom. In addition,
each differential also includes a general notepad section
which enables you to enter mnemonics or other important information
about the differential. GuineaDDx also supports beaming of
data so you can share your lists with your colleagues.
Not only is GuineaDDx great for coming up with potential differential
diagnoses for your own patients, but GuineaDDx also offers
a Quiz Mode. Using the quiz mode, you can randomly move through
presenting symptoms while you try to construct an appropriate
differential diagnosis.
GuineaDDx is a great tool to have during morning report, grand
rounds, or other lectures! Please note that GuineaDDx is not
a pre-compiled database of potential differentials. Instead,
it is designed for you to enter the data as you encounter
it.
