Article Synopsis
- Rheport is an online system designed for rheumatology that triages patient referrals to assess the likelihood of inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD), but its current accuracy is limited.
- A study tested nine machine learning models using a dataset from a national rheumatology registry to improve this accuracy, with results showing that ML models significantly outperformed the existing algorithm.
- Key factors influencing IRD classification were identified, including finger joint pain and inflammatory markers, suggesting that enhancing the system with more lab data could further improve its performance.
Accuracy, patient-perceived usability, and acceptance of two symptom checkers (Ada and Rheport) in rheumatology: interim results from a randomized controlled crossover trial.

Background: Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential in the effective management of inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs). Symptom checkers (SCs) promise to accelerate diagnosis, reduce misdiagnoses, and guide patients more effectively through the health care system. Although SCs are increasingly used, there exists little supporting evidence.
