Clinic Assistant-Clinical Guidance Support

Example

When presented with symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness, Clinic Assistant can suggest differential diagnoses such as myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, or aortic dissection.

Scenario

In an emergency department setting, this function aids physicians in quickly narrowing down potential causes and deciding on immediate tests and interventions.

Example

Clinic Assistant can identify critical signs that require immediate action, such as signs of stroke (e.g., sudden onset of unilateral weakness, difficulty speaking) and advise on urgent steps like CT imaging and consulting neurology.

Scenario

This is particularly useful in acute care settings, where recognizing and responding to life-threatening conditions is paramount.

Example

For a patient with suspected rheumatoid arthritis, Clinic Assistant may recommend specific blood tests (e.g., Rheumatoid factor, Anti-CCP, ESR, CRP) and imaging studies (e.g., X-ray of affected joints).

Scenario

This function supports clinicians in outpatient clinics to formulate a comprehensive diagnostic plan, ensuring no significant aspect of the investigation is overlooked.

Example

In managing a patient with type 2 diabetes, Clinic Assistant can suggest optimizing medication (e.g., Metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors), lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring of HbA1c levels.

Scenario

Such advice is invaluable in primary care settings, helping practitioners develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses both the condition and the patient's overall well-being.
