*Spyware and cookies
Spyware is software that sits on your computer and gathers information about you without your knowledge. People typically get spyware when they download programs from the Internet. Spyware can monitor your activity on the Internet and report that information to someone else. The most harmful forms of spyware can collect personal information such as e-mail addresses. That information can be used to send unsolicited commercial e-mail messages (spam). People may mistakenly conclude that a particular Web site is responsible for the spam, when in fact the spam results from spyware on the user's computer that is monitoring that user's Internet activity.
Why should I use iDiagnosis?
The rate of medical misdiagnosis has been estimated as high as 40%.
We must take a more active role in our own healthcare in order to avoid becoming the next victim of being mis-diagnosed. iDiagnosis helps you in this endeavor.
One of the principle causes of misdiagnosis is the lack of effective patient-doctor communication. Lacking basic medical knowledge, most patients are not prepared to ask inquisitive questions when they visit doctors office. Doctors initial diagnosis is often passively accepted without questions and challenges. Such practice can easily induce the doctors to become complacency, thus raise probability of misdiagnosis.
iDiagnosis can help you prepared for hospital visit. It makes personalized medical diagnoses by incorporating your medical history, health profile and described symptoms. The preliminary diagnoses help you to find specific medical information relevant to your onging health conditions. The iReport summarizes your health conditions and potential strategies to treat your illness. iDiagnosis also generates a series of specific questions related to your illnesses. These questions are designed to serve as topics of discussions with your doctor, thus ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of your health condition and minimizing the possibility of being misdiagnosed.
How does iDiagnosis work?
iDiagnosis is an online medical diagnostic toolbox. It is based on our proprietary technology that employs sophisticated computer algorithms of information science. Unlike most online medical diagnostic tools (or commonly known as symptom checkers), iDiagnosis performs personalized diagnosis for our users. The technology incorporates disease profiles with users personal medical history. The software makes diagnostic decisions based on a statistical model that evaluates parameters from users symptoms, personal medical history, user clinical test data, and their compatibility with disease profiles.
What is the advantage of iDiagnosis over other online medical diagnostic programs?
iHomeMD is designed to provide personal medical information management solution. iDiagnosis performs diagnostic function by incorporating your personal medical information, including your medical history, recent clinical test data, and evaluates how your ongoing symptoms match with the disease profiles in our database. In other words, it performs personalized medical diagnosis. On the other hand, most online diagnostic programs are simply symptom checkers that match your ongoing symptoms with the generic symptom description of diseases. The diagnoses from these programs are not personalized.
