Overview

Introducing AI Recommended DDx, the newest tool in your busy practice. It is a feature designed to act as your friendly reference book. By analyzing patient symptoms and medical history from your final note, this feature offers a list of possible conditions, ranking by the possibility, that could be causing the issues.

Clinicians can supplement with additional clinical details, inquire into the rationale behind suggestions, and thereby enhance the accuracy and efficiency of their diagnostic process.
