How Digital Doctor Works

Digital Doctor uses fixed doctor-created protocols — not AI. Here is how the guided flow works.

Important: Digital Doctor uses fixed, doctor-created medical protocols. It is not generative AI. It does not guess freely. Every answer leads to a predetermined, medically reviewed pathway.

The Guided Flow

1

Age Confirmation & Disclaimer

Before starting, you confirm that you are 18 years or older and that you understand Digital Doctor's limitations. All three acknowledgement checkboxes must be ticked before you can continue.

2

Initial Emergency Screening

The platform asks a series of general emergency questions — chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, collapse, severe bleeding, and others.

If YES to any: You are directed to the Emergency endpoint immediately. No treatment is shown. If NO to all: Continue.

3

Initial Beyond-Scope Screening

The platform asks about pregnancy, age under 18, severe uncontrolled chronic disease, immunosuppression, inability to drink, and other factors that put the situation beyond safe digital guidance.

If YES to relevant questions: Beyond-scope endpoint. If NO to all: Continue.

4

Symptom Selection

You select your main symptom from the available cards. The relevant protocol is then loaded.

5

Symptom-Specific Questions

The protocol runs symptom-specific emergency questions, then symptom-specific beyond-scope questions, then detail questions to better understand the symptom pattern.

Emergency or beyond-scope answers at any stage will stop the flow and direct you to the appropriate endpoint.

6

Result Endpoint

You are directed to one of three endpoints: Emergency (seek urgent care), Beyond-scope (consult a doctor), or Symptomatic Treatment Plan (structured self-care guidance).

The Three Possible Outcomes

Emergency

Your answers suggest an emergency. Seek urgent medical care immediately. No treatment is provided.

Beyond Scope

Your situation is beyond safe digital guidance. A doctor consultation is recommended.

Treatment Plan

A structured symptomatic treatment plan with home care, medicine guidance, and warning signs to watch for.
