[Psi] Powers (basic set)

Aura Reading, GURPS Psionic Powers, pg 46 ... would answer some of that.

In practice?

Detect feeds you three levels of information.

Detect.Sense
Detect.BasicAnalysis
Detect.DetailedAnalysis

Detect.Sense tells you if it is there and how much of it is there.

Detect.BasicAnalysis tells you the details obtainable via observation. Applied to Detect (Humans), per Aura Reading, above, this acts as a successful Diagnosis check in addition to informing you how many HP and FP they have remaining, if they have any diseases or other infections and their vague emotional state.

Detect.DetailedAnalysis requires the Analyzing enhancement from Powers and gives you the details obtainable via intensive testing and lab work. Applied to Detect (Humans), this tells you the specific disease names, information on subtle, long-term problems and as much detail as the Emotion Sense ability would give. (Empathy, essentially) This counts as a full battery of lab tests, including medical imaging, for all purposes.

All of these information levels allow you to continue monitoring the subject without any additional concentration required.

As such?

Detect (Disease) gives you Detect.Sense for the presence or absence of diseases and a rough estimation of how diseased they are while Detect.BasicAnalysis would count as a successful disease-related Diagnosis check.
