symptom checker
Online medical questionnaire
A symptom checker is a digital tool—typically a website or app—that asks users about their symptoms and suggests possible medical conditions.
Users input what they're experiencing, and the tool generates a list of potential diagnoses: I ran my headache through a symptom checker and now I'm convinced I have a brain tumor.
Often criticized for either alarming users unnecessarily or providing false reassurance.
