Zebras or horses? How common are rare diseases on a medical symptom checker, Ada?

Poster presented at RE(ACT) Congress / International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) Conference, 2020

• Rare diseases were suggested as the most likely condition in 4% of Ada symptom assessments and among the top five suggestions in 17% of assessments.
• This is in line with epidemiological studies suggesting that ~2–4% of the population is living with a rare disease.
• Ada shows the potential to shorten the diagnostic odyssey of people living with rare diseases.
