Diagnose
This popular app which is used by over 130,000 physicians worldwide has just launched a premium version, which is updated with latest evidence from series such as the Journal of the American Medical Assocation's Rational Clinical Examination Series.

Diagnose is a novel medical app which aids clinicians in the diagnosis of common internal medicine conditions. The app allows users to incorporate validated findings from the history, physical examination and investigations to calculate an evidence-based likelihood of disease. This app is intended for use by internal medicine physicians and trainees, with the goal of improving patient care and medical education at the bedside.
Diagnose provides you with an evidence-based pre-test probability, validated likelihood ratios and a calculated post-test probability based on your findings for over 45 of the most commonly seen conditions in internal medicine. The data is validated from sources (JAMA Rational Clinical Exam Series, etc).
When examining a patient with a presumptive diagnosis, such as stroke, physicians can now see in real-time how specific findings on the history, physical exam and laboratory evaluation of patients alters the likelihood of disease.
"Diagnose is a fantastic app that encourages the application of evidence-based medicine in clinical practice."
- Daniel Schwartz, MD

*please do not use this app if you want to diagnose something, this app will not help. It is designed for physicians in aiding in an evidence based approach in diagnostics.* What a fantastic app. Never has it been more simple to calculate the post test probability. Thank you so much for making this possible. Please do keep updating the database, even if a pay functionality is warranted.
This app organizes raw sign and symptom data to develop a differential diagnosis list. In reverse, it shows the weighting values. It is limited by a small diagnosis list and common diagnoses for which most physicians would not need assistance. It is well written but will see its true proof of concept as more diagnoses are added, bringing decision weight confabulation (in the programming sense) to the algorithm. Well done first effort! Peer reviewed crowd-sourcing might accelerate development.
Thank you for this useful free app for calculating probability of a disease. It was mentioned that we ought to use a parameter only once, but it could be misleading if overlooked. Overall, cheers for the hard work you guys put in. And its a shame it got less than good reviews by the unintended public. What might help is if you changed the app title to EBM LR calculator or something like that!
Absolutely useless. Have no idea how to use this. Gives no help at all. I wanted a diagnosis
doesn't seem to diagnose anything. it just is a list of conditions. WebMD symptom checker seems more useful.
Helpful ,recommended for M. Students and GPs, thanks for make it Free, PLEASE to update with more cases.. Looks difficult to use at beginning so PLEASE set an easy instructions.
This is the best app. I have looked and never find one better than this. Thank you very very much.
Would love to see them expand the diagnoses but just what I need to promote clinical reasoning and high value care.
Very cool app for diagnosis based on pre and post test probabilities with likelihood ratios. A few more features could be added, but what's there is well done.
If this continues to expand and include additional diagnoses it will only get better.
Useless for me. Uninstalling. I wanted an app that would analyze multiple symptoms and offer possible conditions with probabilities.
Will be using this at work tomorrow! I can't understand people who would give this one star, when it is clearly directed at medical professionals.
We were just discussing the use of likelihood ratios in an EBM workshop when we said wouldn't it be nice to have an app just like this! :-)
As listed in the description, this app is physician directed - it is not targeted toward the general public. A superb app! Thank you!
Well done. It is better performance on the fast growing of health service .
As a medical professional this app is beautiful. Very intuitive and an invaluable resource.
Didnt have anything to help
I liked it very much
Great application . All android user now fast download.
A must have
Not really helpful
I love it
When will diagnosis start?
Educational
Great application
The best
usefull
Just started using this app and it's precisely what I was looking for. I may come across minor grievances but overall the interface is simple and intuitive and the pretest probabilities are a great idea. Perhaps more references and study links? Otherwise thank you and keep up the good work!
We need updates and upragades..its good if adding more diseases
Good application
