Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the app-based diagnostic tool Ada and the impact on patient outcome in the emergency room (ER).
Background: Artificial intelligence-based diagnostic tools can improve targeted processes in health care delivery by integrating patient information with a medical knowledge base and a machine learning system, providing clinicians with differential diagnoses and recommendations.
Methods: Patients presenting to the ER with abdominal pain self-assessed their symptoms using the Ada-App under supervision and were subsequently assessed by the ER physician.
Kommerell's diverticulum is an aneurysmatic offspring of the left aberrant subclavian artery, which is a rare vascular anomaly of the aortic arch. Here, we present our less invasive approach to the repair of a symptomatic Kommerell's diverticulum in a 31-year-old patient, without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Introduction: Occurrence of inaccurate or delayed diagnoses is a significant concern in patient care, particularly in emergency medicine, where decision making is often constrained by high throughput and inaccurate admission diagnoses. Artificial intelligence-based diagnostic decision support system have been developed to enhance clinical performance by suggesting differential diagnoses to a given case, based on an integrated medical knowledge base and machine learning techniques. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Ada, an app-based diagnostic tool and the impact on patient outcome.
