DynaMed and Isabel Trial on CIAP
From April 2 2026 - June 30 2026 you will have access to the trial of DynaMed and Isabel via CIAP.
DynaMed is a clinical decision support tool that provides access to guidelines, algorithms, discharge planning resources, as well as images and videos. You can create a free profile to follow specific specialties or topics of interest, with updates delivered via email or homepage alerts. Your profile will also allow you to track activity for CPD points.
The DynaMed clinical editorial team continuously monitors the medical literature, critically appraises new evidence, and updates recommendations on a daily basis to ensure content remains current.
Isabel is a differential diagnosis tool accessible within DynaMed, which allows clinicians to input patient details, an extensive range of symptoms, and geographical context. It then generates a ranked list of potential diagnoses based on matching characteristics, highlighting likelihood indicators and key red flags. Each condition links directly to relevant DynaMed content for further guidance on management and clinical decision-making.
