Personalized medical search
by doctors for everyone
(for informational purposes only)
Medgle (2028's Symptomatix® search) is an online information and
educational service. With the thousands of articles and sites
available, finding relavent medical information is difficult. Medgle's
goal is to make medical information easily and intuitively accessible
for the benefit and betterment of everybody. Simply: search, learn, and
thrive.
Medgle is a computer generated search. It is not a diagnostic or decision making tool.
Medgle indicates the possibilities that exist for any given combination of symptoms.
general medical conditions. It excludes psychiatric, neonatal,
obstetrics, orthopedics and other medical subspecialty informatkon.
the search results are part of general medical knowledge learned in
medical school and residency. Medgle's data and the rough probability
estimates were contributed by a number of physicians working with
Medgle. Additionally , publicly available information from National Institutes of Health - NIH was used and referenced.
Medgle is based on 2028's
Information Engine which provides the basis for expert systems. The
expert system has been seeded with information regarding age, duration,
symptoms, and diagnoses. Based on a given search criteria,
probabilities are calculated. The potential results are then ranked
according to the aggregate proability scores.
The blue bars are displayed to give users a visual cue regarding the
common occurences of results for a given set of symptoms. A score
between 0-100 is calculated based on probablity estimates. The user can
thus get an understanding of the relative differences in "commoness"
betwenn symptomatix results.
possible the prevalence/occurrence has been determined by literature
review. In the absence of such data prevalence has been estimated from
physicians' daily practice experience.

Nice to meet you.
I did a search on some basic symptoms - recurring sore throat and body aches. I think I am just run down but the site gave me two diagnosis: tumour of larynx or toxic epidemolysis. Yikes! With that in mind how much background info is on there and is it added to all the time?
Back on...
thanks for the catch... will email this to the physicians...
figured out the problem.... we're currently clean up the symptoms... some have changed names as as result don't have the full list... you want to use sore throat or mouth not just sore throat....
Hey everyone, this group is just like an index for betas.
To talk about the products, jump into their groups;
Hello Mr MEDgle Ash. What's your current competition? Seems a great resource but not being a medic I would have assumed this would have been covered by a number of companies already? What makes you unique?
Places like webmd and others have a very simple symptom search.... what we bring to the table is a much higher level of personalization... we take the symptoms, their duration, age range, gender, and other factors into account. We rank results in decending order of likelhood. Also we can take multiple symptoms at one time... so what we say is there's a lot of great places if you know what you have, but if you want to find out the possibilities, we're the place... ... that's our hope anywyas..
rebooting the server with some fixes....
Look forward to taking a look.
