To help alleviate some of the strain on the medical community during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed an online assessment bot for patients.
The Coronavirus Self-Checker helps guide people to make decisions about seeking proper medical care.
CDC’s system isn’t meant for diagnosis or treatment. The bot leads the user through a series of questions. Depending on the answers, the bot then suggests a course of action.
It was co-developed by Microsoft.
People with emergency symptoms, including trouble breathing or blue lips or face, should seek medical attention immediately.
