## What is SymptomMD?

Questions and concerns about your health or the health of those you care for can arise day or night - even when you’re at work or your doctor’s office is closed. But dealing with illnesses, injuries and new behaviors can be easier…

SymptomMD is designed to be your “go-to app” for managing your family's health.  It provides tools for making every day health decisions. 

Our new design supports easier access to the everyday resources you may need:

Does you have a new symptom, injury or behavior?
•	Symptoms – for help deciding what to do when you or someone you care for is sick or hurt 
•	Parent Advice – for answers to questions about behaviors, eating and wellness
•	First Aid – for quick reference when time is precious
•	Meds – for help with dosages and maintaining a list of your family's medications

Where should you go for treatment? The following locations and services are just one tap away, if you do need to be seen for care:
•	Find a Doctor – search the Zocdoc app to find the perfect doctor  
•	Urgent Care– use Google Maps to find nearby Urgent Care locations
•	Emergency – quick connections to Poison Center, 911, and nearby ERs using Google Maps

### 3/5 — Not enough

*2024-08-11, version 6.4*

This app only allows one symptom

### 5/5 — Love his app!

*2017-02-23, version 5.0*

As a former Triage Nurse I am often contacted by family and friends for advice. I use this app as a reference to be sure my recommendations are accurate, safe, and up to date.

### 5/5 — Triage Nurse Approved!!

*2016-07-20, version 5.0*

Excellent layout, super straight forward!  We use identical protocols in offices and triage companies I work with, and this layout is by far the most direct & user friendly of them all!!

### 1/5 — a disappointment

*2011-01-02, version 0*

One, thats ONE symptom listed for upper abdomen pain. are you kidding me? maybe its good for kids, but that doesnt apply to my needs. I am an adult male. and this was a disappointment of an app.

### 1/5 — Limited

*2010-07-23, version 0*

There are very few symptoms to search through. I was hoping for a mote extensive database.

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2010-05-27, version 0*

Not helpful for my problem.

### 3/5 — Not entirely great

*2009-07-31, version 0*

I got this a while ago. On first trial I can't get it to find several simple symptoms, such as fatigue or weakness, using several synonyms. 
Also - I want to check dosages but it only wants to show me child dosages even though I've told it I'm adult female.
Can't use the recently viewed symptom feature - no response. The nearby care map show pins for several businesses unrelated to health care. 
Some bug fixes and database additions would make this a four or five star app.

### 1/5 — Nurse

*2009-06-28*

Not what I expected,not enough information,actually not very helpful. It does not tell you possible diagnosis it will just guide you when to phone 911 or a doctor.I think most people know when to seek help.

### 5/5 — Symptommd Fan

*2009-05-01, version 0*

This is a tremendous app. Easy to follow, easy peace of mind when you are not near a computer, and great help locating Drs if you are away from home.

### 5/5 — Father of two boys

*2009-04-30, version 0*

Being a father of two wild boys, this software has been helpful at the park when the youngest took a bad fall and I wanted to know if we should be heading to the hospital. Question answered and we were on the move again. I am sure many more situation will arise in the future.Thanks for creating such a great application!
