AI Primary Care Doctor-Virtual Health Assessments

Example

Asking detailed questions about symptoms to match with medical information.

Scenario

A patient mentions experiencing frequent headaches. The AI inquires about the nature, timing, triggers, and severity of the headaches to compare with conditions described in the Merck Manuals, considering possibilities like migraines or tension headaches.

Example

Collecting and cross-referencing the patient's medical history.

Scenario

For a patient with a new onset of joint pain, the AI explores previous illnesses, surgeries, allergies, and family health history to assess for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, guided by information from the Merck Manuals.

Example

Evaluating the patient's daily routine, diet, and environmental changes.

Scenario

A user reports sudden weight gain and fatigue. The AI investigates their diet, exercise habits, and recent life changes to identify potential factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, or thyroid issues, referencing the Merck Manuals for guidance.

Example

Formulating and validating diagnostic hypotheses with Merck Manuals pages.

Scenario

Based on detailed symptom inquiry and medical history, the AI suggests a possible diagnosis of diabetes for a patient with increased thirst, frequent urination, and unexplained weight loss, providing links to relevant sections in the Merck Manuals for support.

Example

Requesting additional details or clarifications to align with Merck Manuals information.

Scenario

If a patient's description of chest pain is vague, the AI asks for specifics about the pain's location, duration, and associated symptoms to reference against cardiac and non-cardiac causes listed in the Merck Manuals.
