# AI Differential Diagnosis Generator
> Free AI differential diagnosis generator. Paste a chief complaint + de-identified context. Get a ranked differential, can't-miss diagnoses, and the sources to verify against. Education only.

## Overview

The Rounds Differential Diagnosis Generator turns a chief complaint and de-identified clinical context into a structured, ranked differential diagnosis. Each entry includes likelihood band, supporting and against features, and next-step considerations. The tool always returns a 'cannot-miss' section highlighting time- and morbidity-sensitive diagnoses, plus a verify-against-sources field naming the guideline or review the user should open before acting. The output is educational; final clinical decisions belong to the treating clinician.

## Who this is for

- Medical students working through morning report and shelf cases
- Residents preparing for differential discussions on rounds
- Clinicians double-checking their reasoning on unusual presentations

## FAQs

### Will the differential generator give me a diagnosis?

No. It returns a ranked, structured differential plus the sources to verify against. The clinician makes the final diagnosis.

### Can I include patient identifiers?

No. Use de-identified clinical context only — age band, presenting symptoms, exam findings, relevant history, basic labs. Do not enter names, MRNs, dates of service, or addresses.

### Does this replace clinical reasoning?

No. It augments differential generation by making the structured workup explicit and naming what to verify. Clinical reasoning remains the clinician's responsibility.

### How do I make the output more useful?

Specify the specialty / setting (ED vs primary care vs hospital ward), include the most relevant exam and lab findings, and name the working differential you already have so the tool can fill gaps.

### What sources does the tool cite?

Each response includes a `verify_against_sources` field naming specific guidelines (ACC/AHA, IDSA, ESC, NICE, UpToDate topics) the clinician should open to verify the answer.
