Maya EDU vs Counsel EM

MayaEDU is a unique interactive flip clinical-education tool for diagnosis and critical-thinking training. Medical students, residents, and instructors can be used in real time in class, during rounds, or on their own. Established medical cases can be uploaded to the platform and instructors can disseminate medical cases and observe how students evaluate cases through the web-based platform. Why MayaEDU? 1. MayaEDU provides a full differential diagnosis engine that can process any number and/or combination of symptoms, signs, labs, tests, medications, past medical history. 2. Guides the students on relevant patient interview questions. 3. Helps the student understand the relevant labs, radiology test, and physical signs to take to refine the diagnosis. 4. Students can reorder their differential list as well as generate their own differential diagnosis list. 5. Real-time cases promote an unmatched learning experience. 6. Instructor can take students through required case studies and evaluate student’s understanding & decision-making process. 7. Instructor and students can post forum discussions on MayaEDU’s social platform, Xynapse™. 8. Instructor can watch their students’ screens in real time as they respond to questions creating the ability to evaluate the student’s clinical reasoning skill. 9. Technology to increase student participation rates 10. Instructor and admin can create groups that correspond to classes and specific grouping of students. 11. Schools can brand the app and upload medical cases to the platform. 12. Complementary professional clinician app (MayaPro) and patient app (MayaMD) In 2015, the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) published “Improving Diagnosis in Health Care” revealing diagnostic error will occur at least once in the lifetime of every American, affect 5% of all adults seeking out patient care each year, be associated with 10% of all patient deaths, cause 6 to 17% of all adverse events in hospitals, andi be the leading reason of paid medical malpractice claims. Some authorities would go further to suggest that diagnostic error represented the third leading cause of death in America (behind cardiovascular disease and cancer) with estimates ranging from 250,000 to 400,000 premature deaths occurring annually. Reinforcing this message, the ECRI Institute identified diagnostic error as their top patient safety priority in 2018. Without appropriate diagnosis, patients are at substantial risk of harm. The optimization of two core diagnostic performance metrics (accuracy and efficiency) will redefine the meaning of ‘quality health care’ in the 21st century.

Counsel EM is primarily developed for physicians serving in emergency medicine but should also be effectively used by family physicians and intensive care physicians. Counsel EM consists of Diseases, Cards, Scores, Procedures, Blood Gas Application, Diagnosis-Treatment Protocols, and Symptoms to Diagnosis sections. Diseases Section: This section is prepared in a compact format that provides with texts on over 500 diseases, avoiding the density found in textbooks, and presenting updated information in an easily readable and accessible format. This section will continue to be regularly updated along with the flow of information in the literature. Additionally, the diseases section is enriched with visual tools beyond plain text. Procedures: The detailed explanation of commonly performed procedures in the emergency department is targeted in this section. Visual tools are also used in this section to facilitate explanation. Cards: This section, presented in short texts, involves parts deemed most necessary to read out of the diseases. It contains over 1000 cards categorized under Disease Cards, Treatment Cards, and Drug Cards, aiming for ease of purpose-oriented reading. While Disease Cards section presents information primarily on the diagnosis and clinical findings of diseases, the Treatment Cards section provides with treatments of diseases in a concise format. The Drug Cards section consists of cards presenting information on the indications, doses, and side effects of drugs commonly used in the emergency department. Blood Gas Application: The Blood Gas Application provides information about the acid-base situation of the patients whom their data entered. Given the difficulty for physicians to remember blood gas formulas, this app facilitates the interpretation of blood gas results. Blood Gas application also evaluates the validation of blood gas devices, thus enabling physicians to have an idea about the reliability of the results. Another innovation in the Blood Gas Application is the transfer of the results to the application screen by taking a photo and avoiding the time loss in manual data entry. Scores: Medical scores are an indispensable part of current patient management, especially in emergency settings. In this section, medical scores commonly used in the emergency department are digitalized and made available to physicians. Diagnosis and Treatment Algorithms: Diagnosis and Treatment Algorithms consist of the algorithmic management of symptoms and tests commonly seen in the emergency department. Unlike classical algorithms, it guides the physician step by step to the result. Symptoms to Diagnosis: In this section, preliminary diagnoses are presented to physicians in order of probability based on data such as symptoms, signs, physical examination, and ECG findings. It is categorized into sections based on diseases such as neurology, infectious diseases, toxicology, etc. So, the diagnoses provided do encompass all the diseases seen in humans. Of note, the diagnoses in this section are preliminary diagnoses, not the definite ones, based on the relationship between the entered data and diseases. Counsel EM is an application created to contribute to healthcare professionals in almost every aspect of patient care processes. It will continue to be developed and updated regularly. Additionally, it should be remembered that Counsel EM serves as a clinical decision-tool assisting the physicians and does not replace them, and all responsibility for patient care remains with the physicians. This application is designed for physicians and is particularly not suitable for use by non-medical individuals. If used by someone outside the medical profession, they should seek medical advice from a physician before making any decisions.
