Enabling Symptom Verification

A computer-implemented method for enabling a verification of a rule of a new symptom, the method comprising:

• providing a symptom database which stores existing symptoms;
• providing a specimen database which stores existing specimens, wherein a specimen includes a first specimen and a second specimen, wherein the first specimen is a subset of the second specimen, and wherein an existing second specimen corresponds to an existing symptom stored in the symptom database;
• providing an analysis unit comprising a computer processor and a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions for:
• analyzing the existing specimen using the new symptom, wherein a new second specimen is generated according to the new symptom, and wherein the new symptom corresponds to the new second specimen;
• and
• determining whether there is an overlap of the existing second specimen with the new symptom according to the rule of the new symptom.

A computer program product for enabling verification of a rule of a new symptom, the computer program product disposed upon a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising:

• computer program instructions capable of maintaining a symptom database which stores existing symptoms;
• computer program instructions capable of maintaining a specimen database which stores existing specimens, wherein a specimen includes a first specimen and a second specimen, wherein the first specimen is a subset of the second specimen, and wherein an existing second specimen correspond to an existing symptom stored in the symptom database;
• computer program instructions capable of analyzing an existing second specimen using the new symptom, wherein the computer program product further comprises computer program instructions for generating a new second specimen according to the new symptom, and wherein the new symptom corresponds to the new second specimen;
• and
• computer program instructions capable of determining whether there is an overlap of the existing second specimen with the new symptom according to the rule of the new symptom.
