Triage is the process of determining the priority of patients' treatments based on the severity of their condition. The initial treatment path determined which efficiently when person cannot be treated immediately.
Diagnosis is based on a medical history , physical examination and diagnostic tests.
The Ultimate Kiosk does hearing triage it does not diagnose
Using a pure tone screening protocol to establish an audiogram the level of hearing then classifies the results by pattern of hearing using algorithms (polynomials) and confidence coefficients.
The classifications are determined by level and pattern
Levels: Normal, Mild, Moderate, Severe and Profound
Patterns: Conductive, Sensorineural, Mixed and Questionable
The Confidence Coefficients are an estimate of the accuracy of this pure tone level and pattern without the availability of other important information: the history, physical examination and tests. The confidence coefficients will almost always improve when further testing, a history and a physical examination are carried out.
