It enables Users to make informed health decisions by providing digital and automated interactions with relevant questions tailored to each stage of the patient journey.

Our Service consists of the following medical modules: Symptom Check, Illness Check, Health Check, and Patient Monitoring. Additionally, we offer the following basic and add-on services: Medical Content and Medical Library.

1.2.1.
Symptom Check: The Symptom Check helps to identify possible causes for symptoms of the User. Based on the main symptom, the module provides in-depth questions and suggests additional accompanying symptoms that are likely based on the available information. After further questions about the User’s general health, lifestyle and habits are answered, a preliminary assessment and relevant medical conditions are provided to navigate the User to relevant medical solutions.

1.2.2.
Illness Check: The Illness Check assesses the assumption of suffering from a specific condition. Based on the suspected condition, the module provides questions about relevant symptoms and risk factors that may influence the likelihood and provides a preliminary risk assessment. In addition to the analyzed condition, it will also point out likely alternative causes.

1.2.3.
Health Check: The Health Check provides a 360-degree health risk assessment aimed at asymptomatic patients. By asking the User questions revolving around lifestyle, medications, family history and preexisting conditions, the module creates a risk profile aimed at identifying relevant preventive measures.

Patient Monitoring: The Patient Monitoring makes use of our Symptom and Illness Check algorithms in a sequential way to observe the development of a patient's health over time.
