New Features

We made the options for adding findings simpler by making them more explicit and adding buttons for each all in one place.

Users of the Genome-Phenome version of the software can filter out variants with a frequency that seems too high given what we know about the disease incidence.

The interface for adding patient findings is now streamlined to make it easier to add findings for a patient.

Many new workup lists for problems and specialties are being added. The interface has changed to accommodate these.

Two new chat-based interfaces encourage a team approach to diagnosis that includes both patients and primary care clinicians.

The software differs from large language models in being able to explain its reasoning. The interface is changed to reflect that, and to make it easier to compare explanations for the various diseases in the differential diagnosis.

The computable patient summary is now a URL that can be clicked to re-load the patient. This allows you to share the URL with colleagues, for example by email or pasting into a chart note.

The software now uses red asterisks near the names of diseases to indicate situations in which there is a non-obvious risk that can be avoided.

You can now enter findings using Natural Language Processing.

The SimulConsult software runs just about everywhere, so we checked whether it could run on a Peloton exercise bicycle. Using the guidance (see hyperlink) for how to find the web browser on the Peloton, we found that indeed the software runs fine.

The SimulConsult software is most conveniently run on a regular computer or a tablet such as an iPad mini. But with the release of the iPhone 12 mini that fits in your pocket conveniently, we’ve made sure the software even runs with that small screen size so you use it whenever you need it. Even the genome analysis fits on the screen, but that is not something anyone will expect you to do on the go.
