Healthcare provider Bluestem Health has announced the launch of an online virtual medical assistant powered by Mediktor.
All patients can now benefit from The Bluestem Health Symptom Checker at the first onset of symptoms. It is free and easy to use. In less than two minutes, users will complete the self-assessment and receive a recommendation indicating the appropriate point of entry to care based on their recorded symptoms.
The virtual assistant powered by Mediktor combines AI, Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning technologies for the first clinically validated digital medical assistant, proven in clinical trials with real patients, demonstrating more than 91.3% accuracy. Its NLP contains 45,000 symptom synonyms across each of its 16 languages, allowing patients to express themselves using their own words. After learning a patient’s symptoms, the technology deploys a response in less than three minutes, avoiding long and complicated diagnosis processes.
It is now available for both established and non-established Bluestem Health patients and will allow them to efficiently assess their symptoms online and direct them to the appropriate level of care.
It is important to note however that this tool is not a diagnostic tool and it does not take into consideration your personal health history or other factors which would point to a definitive medical cause. While it can be a reliable source to get credible advice on what to do in your health situation, it is always better to visit a healthcare provider for a clear diagnosis.
