The Challenge

Working with doctors specializing in swallowing disorders, we needed to create a system to assist in complicated diagnoses based on patient history and test results.

Our Solution

We built and deployed a mobile-friendly application that allows physicians to go step by step through:

  • Patient history collection
  • Test results analysis
  • Previous surgery and treatment review
  • Diagnostic scoring and visualization

The application implements custom scoring algorithms developed in close partnership with medical experts. Points are assigned to different conditions and test results, then mapped to x,y,z coordinates on a 3D graph where different regions indicate different likely diagnoses.
