TimelyCare’s Symptom Checker can help identify medical conditions

From: Hokie Wellness

TimelyCare’s new Symptom Checker can help identify possible medical and psychiatric conditions in a matter of minutes.

The Symptom Checker leverages each user's specific demographics, risk factors, and symptoms to provide a list of possible causes. With each concept (symptom, risk factor, or condition) the AI-powered Symptom Checker follows proven processes and evidence-based sources.

The knowledge base is constantly updated and currently contains nearly 700 conditions, 1,479 symptoms, and 214 risk factors.

To use the Symptom Checker, select the button “Check Your Symptoms” on the TimelyCare homepage and answer a few health questions. Then begin typing a symptom, for example, “headache,” and answer a series of related questions. The Symptom Checker will generate possible causes.

All results from the symptom tracker are informational only. Symptom Checker results do not qualify as medical advice and should not be seen as a diagnosis. If this is an emergency, do not use this service, and please call 911.
