FindZebra is a specialist search engine aimed at medical professionals for support in the diagnosis of difficult cases.
FindZebra has a very simple search interface, is intuitive and very easy to use. The service allows you to enter a number of symptoms and then search. The results are ranked based on the number of hits for each diagnostic symptom with the most likely coming first.
Designed by staff at the Technical University of Denmark, the search engine contains links to over 31,000 medical articles focused on rare and genetic diseases from a variety of sources.
Incidentally, the name "FindZebra" comes from a University of Maryland professor who, when describing an unexpected diagnosis said “When you hear hoof beats behind you, don’t expect a zebra.”
Or to put it another way, the famous (and fictional) Dr House said "I look for zebras because other doctors have ruled out all the horses."
