Abstract

The interest in expanding access to health through different strategies, including new technologies, has increased in recent years. years. In this context, a partnership between students and professors of Medicine and Computer Science at UFCG, developed the Application Mobile „SynDiagnosis‟, which assists in the clinical diagnosis of 9 syndromes recurrent genetic disorders in Brazil and Paraíba. Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency of the mobile application (software) SynDiagnosis, in aiding the clinical diagnosis of 9 genetic syndromes, using smartphones. Methods: This study was characterizes as a cross-sectional cross-sectional cohort study. were catalogued, after reviewing 1,573 medical records, 9 cases of patients from the HUAC/UFCG medical genetics outpatient clinic. Subsequently, these cases clinical trials were assessed by two groups of 10 pediatricians each. A group was helped by the application and the other was not, both with the objective of achieving the clinical diagnosis of patients with the genetic syndromes to them presented. Thus, the results obtained were confronted with the diagnosis previously established, by the gold standard, in medical records. Results: Among the 9 syndromes evaluated using the application, in three of them the use did not interfered in the success rate, while in the others (6), the use of the application increased the number of correct answers in relation to physicians who did not use the application. However, among these, two did not obtain statistical significance. due to the sample not being large enough to, in these syndromes, generate meaningfulness. Of the total number of possible correct answers for the nine clinical cases of genetic syndromes, 80% of correct answers were reached, among which, 93.3% of hits were obtained with the aid of the application and 66.6% without the aid of the application. Conclusion: The 'SynDiagnosis' proved to be useful in its proposal to help the clinical diagnosis in general, having collaborated in most cases, pointing to a possible syndrome or even reducing the spectrum of probable syndromes.
