Symptom Checker Solutions for Physician Practices
Our symptom checker supports your patients and parents to understand how sick they are (or their child is) and decide on the best action, based upon current symptoms. The care advice helps them learn skills to manage minor illness and injuries at home, when appropriate.
The pediatric content is evidence-based, written by Dr. Barton Schmitt of telephone triage fame. The symptom checker is licensed by more than 300 pediatric practices. It was also selected by the American Academy of Pediatrics for use on the parenting website, healthychildren.org.
