    Why Medgle?


    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

     

    What is Medgle?


    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.


    What is NOT in Medgle?
     
    Medgle is a search for
    general medical conditions. It excludes psychiatric, neonatal,
    obstetrics, orthopedics and other medical subspecialty informatkon.


    Where did the data come from?
     
    The symptoms for
    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.

    How are results ranked?

    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.


    What do the blue bars mean?

    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.


    How is frequent, infrequent, and rare defined?
    Whenever 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.
