Symptom Solver-Symptom-Based Diagnosis Tool

Example

A user presents with symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Symptom Solver asks targeted follow-up questions about the intensity of the pain, any activities that exacerbate the symptoms, and the presence of additional symptoms such as sweating or nausea.

Scenario

Based on the responses, Symptom Solver suggests that these symptoms could be indicative of a heart-related condition, such as angina or even a heart attack, and advises seeking immediate medical attention.

Example

A user describes experiencing unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, and a noticeable change in bowel habits. Through a series of questions regarding the duration and specifics of these symptoms, Symptom Solver identifies a pattern that may suggest a digestive disorder or possibly a more serious condition like cancer.

Scenario

Symptom Solver explains how these symptoms align with those of colorectal cancer, for instance, emphasizing the importance of consulting a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation and potential screening.

Example

When a user inquires about recurring abdominal pain and bloating, Symptom Solver provides information on common causes such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or food intolerances, including examples of how certain dietary changes might alleviate symptoms.

Scenario

This function helps users understand potential non-emergency conditions that match their symptoms, offering a foundation for a more informed discussion with their healthcare provider.
