How to get started

  • Begin by entering symptoms that best describe your current condition.

  • Symptoms can be entered in your own words or chosen from the list of matching suggestions; select the most appropriate.

  • If no suggestions appear, double-check your spelling or use different words to describe your symptoms.

  • Submitting a symptom leads to a page that displays a list of potential conditions, which can be accessed by tapping or clicking on them to get information.

Best practices

  • Use medical language as much as possible when entering symptoms. For example, "abdominal pain" is better than "belly hurts".

  • Start with entering the area of the body affected, then the symptom. For example, "abdominal pain" instead of "pain in abdomen".

  • Use text, not numbers. For example, enter "high blood pressure" instead of "BP 150/90".

  • Enter only abnormal test results, for example "low iron". Do not enter tests that you have been told are normal.

  • If you have recently travelled abroad, you may be affected by a disease more common in that country. In this case, select the country where you were travelling.
