 Provides guide questions to gather information

 Current programs contains standard diagnosis with associated signs and symptoms as reference

 Nurse uses clinical judgement to choose appropriate diagnosis among the suggested options.

 Contains display of recommended interventions for selected diagnosis and expected outcomes.

Patient data is collected through the use of sensors and measurement devices such as blood pressure,

weight and pulse are transmitted to the healthcare providers so they can keep track of a patient

remotely
