Overview

maxodiff is an approach to formalizing the quality of a differential diagnosis and the improvements to be expected by performing a diagnostic procedure. maxodiff can be used to predict the most useful diagnostic modality given the current status of a differential diagnosis that includes a set of HPO terms (representing clinical manifestions of a disease), and a list of Medical Action Ontology (MAxO) terms (representing the diagnostic procedures that have already been performed).

We implement maxodiff as a Java application that can be run as a stand-alone command line app or can be accessed from Symptom annotation made simple (SAMS), a database and phenotyping tool that is designed to support phenotyping using symptoms and clinical signs from the Human Phenotype Ontology.

🚨 TODO

Add link to the specific SAMS page when it is running
