Hive Hopes For The Future: Visualdx, The ARTS And CRAFTS Of Diagnosis

Hive Hopes For The Future is a segment focused on the technologies featured at the TEDMED Hive. 
(Art and Craft...Sorry guys I can't resist a good tagline!!!)

 Art Papier and Noah Craft are dermatologist who have come to TEDMED with an innovation in diagnostic programming and they want you to see it. On average, twenty-five percent of initial diagnoses are wrong. Visualdx is a diagnostic decision support tool. It allows you to create searches based on anything from symptoms to patient history, and then refine your search based on co-morbidities and further demographics, to arrive at possible diagnoses. For example, search the patient’s symptom of a rash>on a child>confined to trunk>patient also has sore throat>Voila! An array of possible diagnoses is propagated; many accompanied by a library of images, enabling doctors to confirm the diagnosis, demonstrate to patients and educate students.
