Dr. AI - New service in HealthTap health diagnosis application

When was the last time you had a routine health check? According to the US Census Bureau, Americans have reduced at least 19% of doctor visits in 2010 compared to 2001. Not only fewer people go to the doctor but also those who have not been examined regularly. as before.

This is partly related to lack of time. It also involves the inability to pay for health care fees. For some people, they think that only when they are sick must they have a medical examination and they always think they are healthy. The above statistics show that people increasingly neglect periodic health care while it will help prevent diseases that are sprouting and protect our lives.

In order for people to be more concerned about their health without going to a doctor or hospital, the developer has created an application that uses artificial intelligence. With Dr. HealthTap AI, this becomes a lot easier.

1. Health care application is free on the App Store

See health diagnosis results without leaving home

In 2011, Marist Poll showed that about 37% of Americans use websites to diagnose health problems (at least sometimes). You can imagine that this number is getting higher and higher with WebMD, Mayo Clinic, RightDiagnosis and some other websites.

Because health care costs are increasing, users tend to find answers on the Internet, such as using Google Search. However, the problem that concerns them here is whether the information they find is reliable.

For HealthTap, users can be completely assured because this application uses the Internet to connect with real doctors.

Launched in 2010 - HealthTap is a web service that provides personal health tips instead of online articles that often give vague advice. This personalized assistance is provided by more than 100,000 doctors and specialists that you can contact directly using the HealthTap platform for a small fee.

While HealthTap's affordable affordable service has been proven for many years, it has not been widely used compared to searching on Google. That is why HealthTap recently launched a new service called Dr. WHO

Dr. AI is an artificial intelligence that attracts billions of data points, statistics and detailed information from medical professionals around the world over the past 6 years. After that, this knowledge is filtered and applied separately based on age, gender, lifestyle, health diary, current medications and symptoms.

Dr. AI is the best application. With a vague search on the web like "headache above the right eye", you may also get vague answers, Dr. AI combines dozens of different factors to provide the most specific and accurate diagnosis of your disease. If the diagnosis is serious, Dr. AI also provides follow-up with real doctors and experts through HealthTap.

Another plus for HealTap, it's Dr. AI is completely free.

Steps to use Dr. WHO

Initially, Dr. AI can cause users to feel suspicious. I also had that feeling, but when my health was not good, I tried using this application to see how the diagnostic power was. At the end, my senses changed, I realized that Dr. AI is easier to use and more useful than I expected.

Step 1: Health configuration

To use Dr. AI, you must first create a free HealthTap account. Once created, launch the application and log in to your account. You need to set up a health profile, including information such as age, gender, ethnicity, weight, height, health conditions, medicines and some other information.

The questions are mostly optional, but the more information you provide, the more effective it is to use the application. You can also create multiple profiles (for example, other family members). The good news is that you only need to set this profile the first time you use it (and update it regularly when your health changes).

Step 2: Detailed symptoms

To start, click Find out why at the top of the application where the ' Experiencing symptoms ' is located ? 'Choose the profile of the user this symptom applies, update any changes to your health record from the last time you used the application, then start typing in your symptoms. If you don't see the symptoms you want, try using it again.

Step 3: Customize symptoms

With every symptom you enter, Dr. AI will ask a few more questions to help customize your mind. For example, headache symptoms make you dizzy and unbalanced completely compared to headaches that make you sensitive to light.

You will have to repeat the monitoring process for each symptom you experience, and each symptom has many related things, but it gives more accurate diagnosis results. This level of detail completely tells the difference between Dr. AI and how to check on other websites.

Step 4: See the results

When you have completed all operations, Dr. AI will need a few minutes to evaluate your symptoms and give the right results.

The result will probably be similar to what you get if you have searched on WebMD, Mayo Clinic or some other websites. The difference is Dr. AI retrieves more data than those websites, then combines artificial intelligence and a huge database to determine the most likely results by the symptoms you list. The application not only finds all possible diseases but also lists them so you can find out more.

However, perhaps the best reason to use Dr. AI is gradually becoming useful over time. The more you use, the more health data you have. The application will synthesize such data and use artificial intelligence to provide more in-depth and accurate answers to the following consultations.

Dr. AI still has many things to upgrade, so don't ask for it to be 100% accurate or reliable. However, using this application is still better than searching on Google.

Al is the future of medical diagnostics

If you are still not impressed with Dr. AI, I think you should reconsider.

According to the National Center for Policy Analysis, about 10-20% of all patients are misdiagnosed by doctors. Of these misdiagnosis, nearly 30% are so serious that life threatens the patient, causes death or leads to permanent disability. Meanwhile, IBM Watson supercomputers correctly diagnose a patient's rare leukemia while doctors have yet to find out.

So what does this mean?

No one can store and understand all the global medical knowledge but artificial intelligence is possible. Modern computers and software are more experienced in accessing medical data, analyzing statistics . Al can recognize trends and details that people often overlook.

We can see that using Dr. HealthTap AI is one of the best choices. This application not only solves problems such as not having time to visit a doctor, it costs a lot to go to the doctor but it is also a method of accurate and reliable diagnosis for users.

Can now Dr. AI has not had many major breakthroughs, but in the near future, it will be the most popular application.
