Until now it has been completely impossible during a diagnostic process to adequately consider 1) the symptoms observed, 2) the expected but non-appearing symptoms, 3) the mutual influencing of the diagnoses upon one another, and 4) the a-priori probabilities of the possible diagnoses. In order to accomplish this a technical aid is urgently needed. It is exactly this function which is fulfilled by the presented concept of a diagnostic engine which has the potential to be applied in diverse spheres of activity, and particularly in medicine.
