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.

The database used by the software has > 3,100 diagnoses, focused on genetic neurological and metabolic diseases, but is expanding with increasing content on non-neurological genetics and non-genetic neurology.  The information about diseases is entered by clinicians, referenced to the literature and peer-reviewed by experts.  The information includes many types of information ignored in other diagnostic approaches, allowing the software to take into account pertinent negatives, temporal information, and cost of tests.  The approach is also flexible enough allow rapid addition of 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.
