YourDiagnosis.com takes a very comprehensive, private medical history from the user, including details which are often difficult to obtain in standard medical consultations. Based on the users responses, a complex set of custom designed algorithms provides a list of possible diagnoses, ranked in order of likelihood. This also forms the basis for a Personal Health Record stored online which can be used to enhance health care world wide.

YourDiagnosis.com has launched its new web site WWW.YOURDIAGNOSIS.COM

Designed over 2 years by a team of medical professionals and web developers, YourDiagnosis.com takes a very comprehensive, private medical history from the user, including details which are often difficult to obtain in standard medical consultations. Based on the users responses, a complex set of custom designed algorithms provides a list of possible diagnoses, ranked in order of likelihood. With this information the user is now empowered to make informed decisions on their health care.

Medical history taking is recognized as the corner stone of good medical care. It is the major basis for establishing any diagnosis. YourDiagnosis applies this principle, and achieves consistently high success rates in both accuracy and thoroughness. This sets a world standard for automated diagnostic programs on the Internet or even in teaching hospitals.

This is a major advance on the existing medical model.

YourDiagnosis.com is not designed to replace the medical practitioner. It is designed as a powerful addition to the health consumers armament in taking control of his or her own health. It is constantly being updated by the medical informatics team to take in to account the latest research and user feedback.

Unlike most other medical Internet sites, YourDiagnosis.com does not rely on advertising or sponsorship to support it. It is designed to be a self-funding program, with users paying a small fee to use the service.

This ensures that content is in no way biased by pressure from advertisers or sponsors.

Privacy is one of the paramount issues faced by online medical sites. YourDiagnosis.com again varies from the mainstream in not requiring the user to provide any identifying information to the site. No name, email address, or other personal information is stored or requested for the site, other than medically related questions. The user uses their own unique, anonymous user name to log on to the site, and has total control of their information. Credit card transactions are carried out through a third party so that the confidentiality of the medical data is not compromised.

YourDiagnosis.com is the first Internet health site to encourage Personal Health Records by using a powerful and user-friendly diagnostic program that is consistent with world wide medical practice.
