Symptom Checker (by AppCatalyst)
Overview
Symptom Checker by AppCatalyst is designed to help individuals make appropriate decisions about their health concerns, especially during off-hours when a doctor’s office may be closed. It provides care guides to help users determine the appropriate level of care needed, if any, and offers self-care advice for minor illnesses and injuries. If professional care is required, the Symptom Checker can connect users with suitable providers or facilities. The tool is built upon clinical protocols used by physicians and nurses in thousands of practices and hundreds of nurse advice lines across the US and Canada, protocols that have been tested for over 27 years on more than 250 million symptom calls.
The Symptom Checker is utilized on numerous healthcare organization websites, portals, office websites, and mobile apps. It offers features such as easy user navigation to choose symptom care guides, quick answers through age/gender filters, alphabetical/body area indexes, or keyword search, and decision charts that suggest actions based on symptom severity. It also provides self-triage support with clear, up-to-date steps for relieving symptoms at home and facilitates connections to care providers, virtual visit services, or ‘Find a Doctor’ tools.
