Evaluation of Diagnostic Tests

An app to evaluate diagnostic tests

Diagnostic tests (or diagnostic screening tests) are often used in clinical medical practice to estimate the likelihood that a person does or does not have a particular medical condition. The rationale is that, if the disease is identified early (before symptoms manifest), earlier treatment may lead to cure or improved survival or quality of life. Screening tests for diagnosis are usually laboratory or other tests that detect particular markers of a specific disease.
