In the era of information overload, rising complexity of healthcare and huge cognitive burden for physicians, the most critical challenge they encounter when making a Diagnosis is synthesizing complex patient data (hence its name). Synt® supports the Diagnostic Process achieving synergy between Human Intelligence and Intelligence Augmentation (IA) to reach Diagnostic excellence. The system is fully integrated (data level), with ScyMed's killerApp MediCalc® ia, our trusted and highly acclaimed Medical Calculator System™, with more than half a million users worldwide (since 1999). Featuring mCalx™ (1 panel, 150+ equations/scores).

A rules-based expert system for Clinical Diagnosis. The logic of algorithms and the medical knowledge have been manually encoded. Every bit of data has been meticulously structured and programmed. The diagnostic logic is clear and transparent (no blackbox).  Synt® doesn't rely on LLM or Natural Language Processing at this time. Data: from Static Text to Dynamic Flowsheet Synt® is a breakthrough, it changes access to a wealth of medical knowledge from the static isolated text (book, document) to a connected, custom dynamic flowsheet (software, flowchart). It allows users to visualize and compare, side-by-side, all disease information at the deepest granular level (ad lib), including Signs, Symptoms, Labs, Tests, parameters, equations, scores, etc. The user controls the panels, selects Diseases, changes views, filters data and in the DDx+™ Tool can highlight patient-specific findings for visual efficiency. Big Data. Structured. Synt® is structured 'Big Data', organized, classified, accurate, synthesized. The largest virtual medical information matrix (flowsheet) ever developed, >2 million cells (>800 diseases by >2200 S&S, Labs, Tests, parameters, eqs, scores in the rows). Cells are populated when pertinent and indicate expected findings. Content, Function & UX/UI Synt® incorporates a wealth of synthesized info & knowledge on Diseases & Problems. Data Point cells include links to disease info, pearls, definitions, dynamic tables, classifications, normall values, converters (SI), Stats, Se, Sp, etc. Synt® functionality is highly versatile, it offers multiple views of data (search, filters, selections by Dz or SLT, processing, customization, etc.). The dark UI is elegant & visually efficient, UX is superb. ------------------------- Synt® Tools: DDx+™ (Differential Diagnosis +™) From Dx to specific Dx Noso™ Tool (Disease Data Points Tool) For DDx wayfinding SLT Checkr™ (S&S, Labs, Tests Checker™ Tool) - Symptom, Sign, Lab, Test Checker From Symptom (SLT) to Dx or Drug Drug effx™ Tool (Drug effects) From Drug to symptoms (SLT) & vice versa Synt® emphasis is on Differential Diagnosis (DDx), not on the presentation, Dx (label), Rx or Management.
