Symptom front door for DiagnosisChat

Start with what you feel, then route to the right next questions.

SymptomChat is a draft doorway for symptoms, worries, test clues and body signals. It can help organize a question, spot red flags, and point toward relevant disease pages or specialist sites. It is not a diagnosis and it is not emergency triage.

Prototype chat intake

What symptom or worry are you starting with?

Type a short phrase, or use the quick buttons. The page will route by keyword and show safety prompts, possible specialist doors, and related domains.

Ready

Enter a symptom to start routing.

The first useful answer is often not a diagnosis. It is whether the situation sounds urgent, what details matter, and which clinician or reference page is most relevant.

Important: chest pressure, severe breathlessness, stroke symptoms, fainting, severe sudden headache, heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, sepsis symptoms, pregnancy emergencies or suicidal thoughts need urgent local help, not a website chat.

Historical posts, anonymous questions and verified-professional replies can sit under each routed room.

Anonymous allowed Moderated Clinician badges later
Room boundary: lived experience and general education are welcome. Miracle cures, affiliate links, pressure to stop medicines, and provider advertising without verification are not.

Prototype only: posts are saved in local browser storage for this static demo, not sent to a server.

Doctor discussing health information with two patients

Safety first

Some symptoms should bypass chat.

These examples should be assessed urgently according to local emergency options and clinical judgement.

Heart, lung or stroke

Chest pressure, severe breathlessness, fainting, blue lips, stroke symptoms, new weakness, facial droop, speech trouble or sudden confusion.

Bleeding or severe pain

Heavy bleeding, vomiting blood, black stool with weakness, severe sudden headache, severe abdominal pain or testicular pain.

Infection risk

Fever with stiff neck, sepsis symptoms, fever with flank pain, rapidly spreading rash, immune suppression or very young/older frail patients.

Pregnancy, children, mental health

Pregnancy bleeding or severe pain, unwell infants, suicidal thoughts, psychosis, severe withdrawal or unsafe home situations.

Canonical rooms

Many symptom names, one routed room.

Patient words and clinical words can point to the same place, so the conversation does not fragment.

Specialist network

SymptomChat should surface the right professional layer.

Verified professional participation can sit behind the same trust system as TheCardiologists and the other specialist sites.
