SymCAT is another piece of software that appears* to use Bayesian methods to suggest possible diagnoses (it has a mobile app for Android).

*they don't actually mention "Bayes" (or give much detail at all) in any of the descriptions I can find, but they talk about machine learning and "frequency and likelihood", as well as giving giving the probability of each possible diagnosis given the symptoms.
