Panel diagnostic method and system
First Claim
1. A computerized medical diagnostic system, comprising:
- a diagnostic module configured to interact with a patient or a healthcare professional and provide an initial differential diagnosis;
a panel module in data communication with the diagnostic module, the panel module comprising a plurality of diagnostic strategy processes, each of which generates a strategy differential diagnosis, wherein the panel module compares at least a portion of the strategy differential diagnoses to thereby generate a panel differential diagnosis; and
wherein the initial differential diagnosis and the panel differential diagnosis are reconciled so as to recommend an action or provide a diagnosis to the patient or the healthcare professional.

Abstract
A method and system for computerized medical diagnostics is disclosed. Beginning with interacting with a patient or a healthcare professional via a diagnostic module to obtain patient health items, the system automatically obtains an initial differential diagnosis and multiple strategy differential diagnoses based on the patient health items. In one embodiment, each strategy differential diagnosis is obtained with different analysis criteria of the patient health items. At least a portion of the strategy differential diagnoses are compared and a panel differential diagnosis based on the compared differential diagnoses is determined. The initial diagnosis and the panel differential diagnosis are reconciled so as to recommend an action or provide a diagnosis to the patient or the healthcare professional.
