Title: Plasmate (Beta 1 release)

19/07/99

Have you ever got stuck looking at some deranged blood tests and can't work out what is going on? Have you ever tried to find the nth differential diagnosis? Are you student who needs some extra revision? Then I hope Plasmate will be able to help all of you.

It is essentially a program that accepts blood results (initially only urea and electrolytes), analyses them and using a form of AI (yes artificial intelligence!!) gives you a differential diagnosis.

Features

1. Differential diagnosis of blood test
2. Information on clinical setting, tests to confirm diagnosis and treatment
3. Ability to add your own notes
4. Biochemical features associated with selected diagnosis
5. Review of current results
6. Find causes of....? eg causes of hyponatraemia?
7. List normal values
8. Reselect criteria to search on if differential not satisfactory

Upcoming additions

1. Haematological and blood gas analysis
2. Expansion of current database
3. Able to tabulate and graphically represent results

Again I am still looking for beta testers and people willing to contribute to database. I will be making a modified version of the database used in the program available as freeware. If you are interested in contributing please do not hesitate to email
