MMi DiagnosisX - Virtual Patient

DiagnosisX is a simulated medical encounter with a virtual patient. It is designed to allow medical students and others the opportunity for unlimited practice at interviewing and examining patients, ordering tests and imaging. It allows them to establish and modify a differential diagnosis as they work through the case. At the end of the case, the student’s management of the encounter is compared to that of an expert and the rationale for each step is provided to the student.

DiagnosisX is also an authoring package that allows medical teachers to create and publish their own multimedia cases to the web. There is no requirement for technical help to complete the process and no waiting for the final product. It can all be done by a faculty member with average computer skills who like to teach by using cases.
