Model

We continue our review of questions to simplify them and make them more understandable.

Model

We’ve just released a huge model update:

• We’ve edited hundreds of questions that are asked by the inference engine, making them more understandable for users.
• Current model contains new gynecological and traumatological conditions and symptoms.
• We are now better at recognizing and diagnosing headache episodes.

Even a tiny update like this makes the experience better for all of you.

Model

First of all, we've refined underlying connections in the database. Other updates contain:

• New items called “metasymptoms”. When patients describe their symptoms they frequently use phrases like “body aches” or “stomach ache on the right side”. That’s why we’re introducing metasymptoms – observations that are not precise enough to be treated as proper symptoms. Metasymptoms, like symptoms, are available via /search and /parse, so you don't need to change your code.
• Another rearrangement of renal conditions.

Model

Learn about changes in Abdominal pain and more.

• We've improved the structure of symptoms related to a duration of abdominal pain. Now, the model is better at dealing with complexity of total duration and periods of pain. Besides, questions are simpler and more user-friendly.
• Abdominal pain has new child symptoms. They are related to the character of abdominal pain and its radiation to back.
• We’ve created Postpartum period as key risk factor for Postpartum depression.
• We've added Skin mass greater than 1 cm in diameter (parent symptom for three detailed types of lumps). We’ve removed other four skin-related symptoms.

Model

Hello in 2018! Let’s kick off the new year sharing some news.

• We’ve rearranged renal conditions and created new item called Acute kidney injury.
• We’ve added new symptoms: Edema, hip joint and Joint pain, during hip movement. As a result, we have improved hip conditions.
• We continue to simplify and rephrase difficult questions.

Model

The biggest change in this update is Physical injury – the new master risk factor. What do you need to know about it?

• Physical injury does not influence conditions probability, but it can make the interview more accurate.
• We recommend using Physical injury as a potential trigger for subsequent questions about injury-related risk factors.
• If Physical injury is set to present, it prompts a multiple-choice question about underlying risk factors.
• If Physical injury is set to absent, all injury-related risk factors are automatically set to absent too.
• All risk factors related to physical injuries are available on the Diagnosis page.

Other updates:

• We’ve added Tinea capitis condition together with its most typical symptom, Broken hair.
• We’ve replaced Red rings with light centers on skin with more specific Erythema migrans. As a result, we’ve created new parent symptom called Annular skin lesions.
• We continue to simplify symptoms related to dermatological changes.
• Tons of questions are now more user-friendly.

Model

We've refined medical concepts related to common injuries.

Model

We have introduced a few, but significant changes, including:

• We've added three new conditions, including Ruptured eardrum (together with Bleeding from ear as a typical symptom).
• We've removed Acute viral tonsillopharyngitis and Rotavirus infection. From now on, the API will return Acute pharyngitis and Gastroenteritis respectively.
• Now, you can handle the diffused abdominal pain with a new Abdominal pain, diffuse symptom.

Model

We've proofread, corrected and simplified the concepts' names and questions. Furthermore, new symptoms and conditions have been added. Finally, Dermatological changes, penis and Dermatological changes, vulva were merged into one: Dermatological changes, located in the genital area.

Model

We're exited to share with you hundreds of updates. Now, most of symptoms and many conditions are available in plain language (common_name field). In addition:

• We've added important valve disease.
• The endocrinological conditions were removed – because patients can't tell a difference between them.
• We've updated some dermatological symptoms. Now, patients should understand and distinguish them easily.
• We've removed abbreviations from the lab tests names.

Model

We focused on simplifying medical concepts and making question easier to understand.

Model

We've continued to refine the structure of our conditions, symptoms and risk factors. We've minimized a rate of over-confidence of rare conditions.

Model

We've added new conditions and removed a few overlapping and non-relevant diseases. The accuracy of the model has been re-tested and improved for the common primary care and emergency situations. We've continued refinements of the structure of symptoms and risk factors.

Model

We added question groups for pain intensity of head and abdomen. We also improved filtering of pre-menopausal symptoms and conditions. A few new conditions have been added and some questions rephrased.

Model

We're continously extending our model. The structure of conditions was cleaned up (e.g meningitis was removed because its subtypes – like viral meningitis – already exist). Besides, we added some conditions and improved the translations.

Model

Major update of the model. Introduced new conditions, symptoms and risk factors with a focus on acute medical problems. The structure of symptoms and relations has also been refined. Symptom groups has been cleaned up and reorganized.

Model

Many new relations have been added and refined in the underlying model. Please make sure you also read through the list of removed elements.
