For a nice reference to our software, click on image. Or, from a client who maintains a site about adopting clinics in the third-world:: "Yes, Medics Without Borders is my NGO (non government organization). I am trying to lend hands in EMS in developing countries. After using 5GL-Doctor at my clinic in Ghana, I highly recommend it to any medical practitioner who wants to diagnose diseases with the least amount of time and with pinpoint accuracy if all possible. 5GL-Doctor just does that from the click of a mouse. And I want to introduce it more providers alongside the EMS training programs I have designed."

Note: some of the displays are from years back, the latest database is even larger still!


This display (and immediately below and one below that) from the additional analysis on the expanded edition. 5GL-Doctor has been around for some 15 years. Analysis 1 is the main expert system, however, with experience it became clear some of the internal "reasoning" could be improved - the result is this analysis. Simpler internally but overall maybe as effective, maybe not, as analysis 1. This one is much simpler, but does not consider patient history, because it uses a fraction of the decision techniques analysis 1 uses.





Unless specifically stated a display is from the expanded edition assume the displays are from the professional edition.





The  "measure" values in some of the displays below depend on options set and how the inquiry is managed. They are indicative of how "favorably" the software considers a particular condition. (You specify display size and spelling at installation time, either United States/International or Australian/British; in the displays below either spelling may have been used). Medicine is a huge field. While we would like to say that with minimal experience the software will identify the correct diagnosis - unfortunately the medicine field is simply too large for us to claim this outright (and the database is huge and occasionally we still find patterns of symptoms/signs not defined as well as could be and that confuses).
 

   


 



   

(below an example of the choices on the huge symptom/sign selection list. Note that if you install with USA/International spelling then the symptoms, e.g., on the far right, would not have the prefix "hae" but "he".)

 

(the differentiation can be fine as you can gather from the example below. Note that there are options that can be set to focus or guide the production of the short lists.)







(Note in the display below the actual answer is Gaucher's Disease. The measure value and number of matches need to be considered separately in some situations. One or the other may offer the important suggestion. The information in this analysis is in fact taken from all the fields, the software looks for clues and suggests a short list).

 

(The analysis display below has been designed with large displays in mind. It is part of the Expanded Edition. The display and results would differ on the Professional Edition. The number in brackets before the disease name are: the measure value, the actual exact matches; the number of near matches; the number of symptoms/signs which while not matched are part of the same symptom/sign group to which a symptom/sign in the inquiry belongs. The differential diagnosis on the right is from emedicine or other reliable sources articles. Note that on  the Professional edition the second two values are not included as part of the refinement and the short list may differ.)

 

About the above. The symptoms urinary problems and hand disorder do not appear that often as you can see from the frequency chart but that is because they are high level symptoms/signs and these rarely appear as such - usually a specific aspect of a urinary problem or hand disorder is selected. (eg urinary frequency, urgency, etc.)
