Unbound Medicine, a knowledge management solutions provider for healthcare, has launched a leading-edge differential diagnosis app for health professionals in collaboration with the publishing arm of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Derived from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5®) Handbook of Differential Diagnosis, the app combines interactive guidance with expert commentary, enabling clinicians to perform faster and more accurate psychiatric diagnoses at the point of care.
Utilising a proven six-step diagnostic framework, the DSM-5 Differential Diagnosis App guides users through interactive decision trees and provides differential diagnosis suggestions for common psychiatric symptoms. After download, clinicians can use the app on a smartphone, tablet, or even the new Apple Watch - all without the need for an internet connection.
The interactive decision support module debuting in the app represents a significant expansion of the Unbound™ platform. Partners such as APA | Publishing are now able to create interactive algorithms, flow charts, and decision trees using Unbound’s online authoring system, uPub™, and then publish these tools regularly to smartphones, tablets, wearables, and the web.
