VisualDx

VisualDx is an award-winning diagnostic clinical decision support system designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy, aid therapeutic decisions, and improve patient safety. While clinicians use VisualDx to quickly build a custom differential diagnosis across general medicine, VisualDx can teach students how to build an appropriate differential and avoid common diagnostic pitfalls. Information-assisted decision-making is far more beneficial than just memory-based education.

  • Complements case-based learning and collaborative problem-solving.
  • Improves pattern-recognition skills.
  • Is an expert peer-reviewed resource
  • Enhances medical school learning in classroom, clinic, and on the wards.
  • Easily integrates into Problem-Based Learning and GME-level programs.

The VisualDx app also features DermExpert, an add-on feature that helps non-dermatologists better understand, diagnose, and treat skin conditions. The feature lets clinicians take a picture of the patient’s skin condition. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, the application analyzes the lesion type, then provides simple questions to quickly get to a differential diagnosis.
