In the article, titled “Vermont Initiative Gives Clinicians New Tools for Infectious Disease Diagnosis and Response,” Papier said the mission of VisualDx is “to provide medical professionals with tools and resources to augment decision-making and improve patient health.” Levine noted, “Diagnostic tools and educational resources that clinicians can share with patients are integral to achieving our shared mission of driving better care and public health.”
