Web-Enabled, Evidence Based Medical Diagnostic System
US Patent:
2008022, Sep 11, 2008
Filed:
May 15, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/383246
Inventors:
Victor Levy - Clearwater FL, US
International Classification:
G06F 19/00
US Classification:
705 3
Abstract:
A web-based medical diagnostic system predicts diseases via the use of likelihood ratio calculations. Likelihood ratios are multiplied against pre-test odds for diseases to predict post-test odds that will guide a physician to a diagnosis. Each likelihood ratio is calculated on the basis of statistically accrued data and in response to questions and answers directed to patients or test results. Likelihood ratios are scaled infinitely beyond a simple 2×2 matrix, with an independent likelihood matrix created for individual patient responses or test results which are treated as independent variables in the system. The number of predicted diseases and diagnostic outcomes is also infinitely scalable.
