What does the app do?
The Your.MD app uses data you input to provide automated advice and guidance about your health. It has 4 main sections:
- Self-care checker: A chatbot to help you decide if you should see a doctor, or if you can self-care. You can check your symptoms, do a self-assessment or ask a question.
- Health A-Z: A directory of information about hundreds of conditions and health topics. The Health A–Z topics can be accessed via the website(external link).
- OneStop Health: Has recommendations for health products and services to help your individual situation.
- Health Journal: A journal feature to log, monitor and track your symptoms.
Note: The app has a disclaimer that while it provides useful information, it's not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you think you may have a medical emergency, immediately call your doctor or the emergency services. Before acting on any of the information in the Your.MD app or symptom checker, consult with your doctor to make sure it is right for you. For the complete app description, go to the app website(external link) or Google Play(external link), or for a more detailed review, see Reviews.
