How does the symptom checker work?
Last Updated

Short Answer

Abby’s AI-powered symptom checker helps assess your symptoms and recommends the next steps based on medical guidelines and real-world data. By analysing your symptoms and medical history, it provides instant, research-backed health guidance to help you decide whether to self-manage or see a doctor.

Before booking an appointment, Abby’s symptom checker can help you understand what might be causing your symptoms. Using medical algorithms trained on real patient cases and clinical data, the symptom checker helps assess potential causes and guide you toward the best course of action.

How to Use the Symptom Checker

  1. Open the Abby Health app and tap ‘Symptom Checker’.
  2. Enter your symptoms and any related details.
  3. Abby will ask follow-up questions to refine the assessment.
  4. Receive a personalised recommendation (e.g., self-care advice, book a doctor appointment, or urgent care guidance).

What Makes Abby’s Symptom Checker Unique?

📌 Uses AI-driven pattern recognition – Abby doesn’t just match symptoms; it understands context based on medical history.

📌 Asks relevant follow-up questions – The more information you provide, the more accurate Abby’s recommendation will be.

📌 Instant triage recommendations – Find out whether you should see a doctor, monitor your symptoms, or seek urgent care.

💡 Remember: The symptom checker does not replace medical diagnosis—if symptoms persist or worsen, always consult a doctor.
