Isabel Mobile Device Access

Isabel is a diagnosis checklist tool which helps clinicians broaden their differential diagnosis and recognize a disease at the point of care. Isabel includes more than 6,000 disease presentations by multiple signs and symptoms. The web-based Isabel tool uses the patient's demographics and clinical features to produce a list of possible diagnoses, including time-sensitive "Don't Miss Diagnoses.”

Isabel is a software tool (not content) used to determine a likely diagnosis based on symptoms entered. Users enter clinical features including age, gender, and symptoms and a result list is presented in order of likelihood of a match to specific conditions. When integrated with DynaMed, results will link directly to relevant DynaMed topics. If not integrated with DynaMed, or there is no relevant DynaMed topic available, the links will go to PubMed.

Isabel is accessible from mobile devices and fully compatible with all devices.  However, the device must be connected to the internet. Isabel is not downloadable onto a mobile device.
