Computational Diagnostics: A Novel Approach to Viewing Medical Data

A transition from traditional paper-based medical records to electronic health records is underway. The resulting massive amounts of electronic patient records offer tremendous potential to personalize patient diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we discuss a computational diagnostics tool that uses digital medical records to help physicians gain better insight about a patient's medical condition. The paper details different interactive features of the tool and discusses the tool's potential in the practice of evidence-based medicine and for advancing patient diagnosis practices.
