Diagnose app for iPhone and iPad
We are committed to a scientific approach to the medical evaluation and treatment of disease. With the release of Diagnose, physicians can apply the strength of evidence-based medicine during the bedside evaluation of patients.
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 was created by an internal medicine resident and an engineer aiming to create simple and free mobile tools for physicians.
"Diagnose is a fantastic app that encourages the application of evidence-based medicine in clinical practice."
- Daniel Schwartz, MD
Co-founder, QxMD

4. The post-test probability is calculated and displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Pros and cons of Diagnose app for iPhone and iPad
Diagnose app good for
This is an extremely useful app on the wards. All clinician should have this.
Very helpful app and is very easy to use. Would definitely recommend it
Add this app along with the stethoscope to the doctors essential toolkit
I am loving this app. I will definitely be using it to improve my practice and would highly recommend it.
Great app. Clean layout and great info provided. Useful even for surgical residents on other services that need help with Diagnoses that arent their usual they deal with, or with patients up on wards. Thanks!
Amazing app highlighting the likelihood ratios for high yield clinical findings based on the JAMA Rational Clinical Exam papers. Ive been looking for something even remotely close to this for the last 4 years of my internal medicine residency. Well organized, great interface, rapid access of desired JAMA exam topic - great for point of care (and exam). Thanks for making this!
Some bad moments
Really comes in handy during ER shifts whenever in doubt. Thank you!
Just another tool to help make medical decisions. Anything based on science I dig. Good job.
Appreciate the time and effort put into this application. Very helpful tool to any academic internist!
Thx!
Looking at text books and seeing list of symptoms and findings paints only a small part of the diagnosis. Minutes after installing Diagnose, I am already starting to appreciate the different weights to each symptom/finding. Keep it up guys and please add more diseases.
