Niemann-Pick type C is a rare genetic disorder which is often misdiagnosed or goes undetected altogether due to its heterogeneous clinical presentation.
The NP-C Suspicion Index for iPhone application has been developed to provide an easy access to the index without internet connection. It has been designed to allow healthcare professionals unfamiliar with NP-C disease to:
- Understand the typical signs and symptoms of NP-C
- Assess the likelihood of a patient having NP-C by calculating the NP-C risk prediction score
- Take the appropriate actions according to the results
- Email the results (Internet connection needed)
- Learn about the visceral, neurological and psychiatric symptoms, including patient videos
