Applaus

APPLAUS is a clinical decision support tool developed as part of a research project focusing on diseases of the pleura.

The app is designed to assist doctors – especially in acute and high-pressure situations – in making accurate and efficient decisions through a structured decision flow.

Many patients are currently treated outside specialized units, which can lead to longer and more resource-intensive treatment pathways. APPLAUS helps ensure more consistent and qualified care by guiding users through relevant questions and recommendations.

• Actionable guidance
Receive clear recommendations based on your inputs in the app.

Target Audience

APPLAUS is developed for doctors, particularly junior or less experienced physicians working in emergency departments who need support in clinical decision-making.

Purpose

The goal is to improve treatment quality, reduce errors, and optimize resource usage within the healthcare system.

APPLAUS is intended as a support tool and does not replace professional medical judgment, diagnosis, or specialist consultation.
