About EpiFinder
EpiFinder empowers doctor-patient communication to find “find the epiphany” moment using our proprietary software. EpiFinder’s clinical decision support software helps doctors collect patient data to assess chronic medical conditions. Currently our focus is neurology but we’re looking to expand to other conditions of interest. In our patient health and wellness app, patients enter their symptoms into our patient app. Next, the tool presents this data in a standardized, easy-to-read format. It is designed to share the information with their doctor. A Mayo Clinic study showed our app was as accurate as doctors in diagnosing epilepsy. We aim to improve the time it takes to arrive at an accurate diagnosis, helping patients get better care sooner. Opportunities for clinical shadowing for those located in Chicago.
