Need a different icon

[Burke Mamlin]

Can we please choose a different icon for diagnoses on the clinician-facing patient dashboard?  Poor Wyclif was demonstrating OpenMRS 2.0 on a big projector and the icon caused a few chuckles around the room.

Any thoughts about what icon does say "diagnosis"? :-)

I don't know if there's anything universal.  "Dx" (like Rx is used for meds) is commonly used in the States for diagnoses.  Another possibilty would be a stethoscope.  Though, Font Awesome's stethoscope isn't the greatest... I supposed it's better than the tripod.

If the intent of that section is to list a patient's existing diagnoses (also sometimes referred to as the Problem List), as opposed to some functionality around making a new diagnosis, the stethoscope may not be quite right. 

I've seen a stylized "Dx" used in various systems, which seems to get the point across pretty clearly. This particular icon, from the VisualDX company (without the "V"), is an example of the style. 

There's a cultural question about whether the word is similar in the languages that we are dealing with. It does translate to French and presumably to Creole.

From a pure design perspective, I'd just recommend showing the top torso (head and shoulders) of the patient with a magnifying glass over that portion (perhaps just the head, or the upper chest). "Problem" solved. :-)

Not bad...
