Sympify utilizes an innovative reverse-dictionary algorithm that uses the patient’s previous diagnosis and symptoms to create a list of every possible condition they could have, ranked from most likely to least likely. What sets Sympify apart lies in the results and the methods used. Many have tried using Google or ChatGPT to ask for the possible conditions they could have based on their symptoms, however, these methods still don’t provide the user with the full picture of their possible diagnoses, nor do they allow you to select your symptoms in a thoughtful manner. These platforms still follow very similar procedures to what a standard doctor’s visit would look like, meaning they also receive the same results.
Current AI apps and doctors focus on increasing the accuracy of diagnosis, but they only predict a select few of the most likely diseases. Ironically, the majority of misdiagnosed patients are actually suffering from illnesses outside of those predicted diseases. At Sympify, we aim to solve this problem from the opposite angle by showing patients the full picture of all possibilities with an innovative reverse-dictionary algorithm to minimize misdiagnosis rates. Many organizations are focused on diagnosing patients, even if those diagnoses aren't always accurate. This leads to many misdiagnoses in the process. So instead of targeting diagnosis, Sympify is targeting misdiagnosis of patients, bringing these patients closer to the truth.
Both the patient and the doctor can benefit from Sympify. The patient uses the app to generate a report that lists possible conditions based on their symptoms. The patient and doctor can then review this report together, ensuring the doctor doesn’t overlook any potential conditions and can use the report to guide further diagnostic discussions.
No, Sympify is designed to complement a doctor’s expertise, not replace it. The generated report offers patients insight into potential conditions, including rare or overlooked diseases. This helps patients engage in more informed discussions with their doctor but does not serve as a definitive diagnosis tool.
