VisualDX is a visual diagnostic decision support system that includes medical images and illustrations. VisualDx is designed to match the way a physician thinks about signs, symptoms, and diagnoses. The content is organized by common and diagnostic problem areas as well as by age and body location. It visually presents disease variations by skin type, age, and passage of time. Clinicians can initiate a unique differential diagnosis based on the visual symptoms of a patient. A customized pictorial differential diagnosis tailored to a patient’s findings would be formulated dynamically. VisualDX also compares most relevant diseases, or drills down to research with handbook-length clinical information and variation in visual presentation.
