Verification of a clinical decision support system for the diagnosis of headache disorders based on patient-computer interactions: a multi-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although headache disorders are common, the current diagnostic approach is unsatisfactory. Previously, we designed a guideline-based clinical decision support system (CDSS 1.0) for diagnosing headache disorders. However, the system requires doctors to enter electronic information, which may limit widespread use.

In this study, we developed the updated CDSS 2.0, which handles clinical information acquisition via human-computer conversations conducted on personal mobile devices in an outpatient setting. We tested CDSS 2.0 at headache clinics in 16 hospitals in 14 provinces of China.

Results

Of the 653 patients recruited, 18.68% (122/652) were suspected by specialists to have secondary headaches. According to "red-flag" responses, all these participant
