Review differential diagnosis options with AI, for doctors

You spend late evenings digging through clinical references for complex symptoms. Let AI read your notes and draft an initial list of differential diagnoses to jog your thinking.

What to gather first

De-identified patient symptom notes
Recent lab and panel findings
Current medication and allergy list

Which app

For this one, a plain AI chat window is enough: ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Open the chat, paste what you gathered, and type the message below. First time? Read how to talk to an AI.

How to do it

Remove all identifying patient details. Strip names, dates of birth, addresses, and record numbers from your clinic notes. Keep only the clinical timeline, exam findings, and lab results. Paste this plain clinical text into AI.
Ask for broad possibilities. Tell AI to compare the notes against standard medical references. AI reads the presentation and drafts a categorized list of potential conditions. It lists common presentations alongside atypical alternatives.
Compare against your clinical judgment. Read through the list alongside your own assessment. AI highlights conditions matching the timeline that you might want to rule out. Cross off anything ruled out by physical exam findings AI did not have.
Update your chart notes. Select the relevant differentials to explore in your workup. Copy the chosen points into your chart and discard the rest. You decide on tests and discuss the plan with the patient.

What to type first

Here are de-identified clinical notes, lab values, and symptom timelines for a patient. Compare these findings against standard medical references and draft a list of potential differential diagnoses, grouped from most likely to rare. Do not draft treatment plans, do not give clinical advice, and do not make a final diagnosis.

Change the words to match your business. AI follows what you say, so say what done looks like.

Before you trust it

Verify no private patient identifiers remain in the prompt text.
Check that every listed condition fits the actual timeline of symptoms.
Confirm standard red flags and acute risks are accounted for by your own review.

Try having AI draft lists of relevant lab panels to rule out the top conditions.
