High hopes are invested in machine-learning approaches for diagnostic applications. Michael Nagler presents a web-based tool integrating laboratory and clinical data to rapidly diagnose heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. It was developed and validated in a prospective multicenter cohort study including 1,393 patients. The final model showed reduced false negative and false positive patients. This model has the potential to reduce overtreatment and delayed diagnosis.
