Citation-first clinical tool

AI Differential Diagnosis Generator

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.

This tool is for educational and decision-support use only. It does not replace independent clinical judgement. Always verify against the current guideline, FDA label, or specialty reference cited below before acting. Do not enter patient identifiers (name, MRN, dates of service).

Frequently asked questions

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.
