One in seven diagnoses are misdiagnoses. Each year, 1.5 million lives could be saved with the right diagnosis. How can technology empower physicians to diagnose like "Dr. House"?

Dr. Jama Nateqi is a medical doctor and co-founder of SYMPTOMA.com, a search engine for diseases. He has quit his clinical career and devoted +10 years to research addressing misdiagnosis. The European Commission and the Dutch Ministry of Health have awarded the search engine as best & most promising eHealth solution.
