Patient History Assistant

Doctors have known for centuries that getting the medical history correct is by far the most important aspect of getting the diagnosis correct. Wrong diagnosis causing significant harm occurs in about 1 in every 6 clinical encounters.

This app was built by doctors because we know that sometimes we miss important aspects of your health story — because we don't take enough time to listen carefully, and sometimes simply because humans are fallible.

Here you can be guided through the health problem you have at your own pace, in your own time. We are deeply concerned with prejudices and biases in human healthcare systems, and have designed this guide to minimise those biases as completely as possible.

Built by doctors and rigorously tested for usefulness, this app helps you and your doctor get to the right answers faster by ensuring that nothing important is overlooked. We hope you find it useful — and we welcome any feedback to help us make it better.
