Diagnosaurus® DDx

(Review from NP student) This DDx is greatly lacking in substance and content. Many signs and symptoms are not listed and many differentials are left out.

Great app !!

Use it frequently during my practice.

This app is a great tool when you have patients with vague symptoms.I have found it very helpful.

I’m a resident who was recommended this app by a colleague. At first i thought it was lame but after a few weeks i actually think it’s a great resource. Yes, you should know a good differential for common stuff cold. Yes, you can find more info elsewhere for workup and broader differentials and diagnostic algorithms. But nothing i’ve found is quite as good for 3 am when your brain is foggy and you have to staff a new patient in 10 minutes and you want to make sure you’ve covered your bases. Even when i have more time i’ll first use my own knowledge and then check this to see if there is anything else that i think is plausible. If you have good clinical background you can go through the differentials quick and rule out etiologies in your head or make a mental asterisk next to ones that may deserve more workup/research. Anyway, i highly recommend it, just don’t expect it to be what it’s not intended to be.

In retirement the access to current literature diminished a rapid access in my e-phone.

This app wasn’t helpful for what I needed and now I’m getting billed for services not obtained. Ugh.

I use the app frequently to look up differential.app is easy to use and well designed .

If you’re in med school just google it, search on up to date, or think for a second. This app has no background info, just a list of ddx and it doesn’t even link to a page with more info. You would end up looking it up anyway.
