Founded in 2017, Ubie provides AI tools that help patients and healthcare professionals improve health outcomes. Ubie’s Symptom Checker, a free online tool powered by AI, helps over 10 million people every month identify possible illnesses and know when to see a doctor. Over 1,500 healthcare organizations also use Ubie’s tools to improve their workflow and make more accurate diagnoses, which leads to better care for patients. Ubie also supports 70% of the world’s top life sciences companies by offering AI-powered marketing solutions.
The Symptom Checker is constantly updated with medical data reviewed by experts. It asks users questions about their symptoms and then gives a list of possible conditions, advice on when to see a doctor, and details on treatment options. This tool helps people understand their symptoms and make informed health decisions, reducing the time it takes to get proper care.
AI symptom checkers like Ubie can play a big role in finding diseases early, especially as more people search for their symptoms online. Many people struggle to understand complex medical information, which can cause confusion and delays in getting care. By providing an easy-to-use and trusted tool, Ubie helps people make better health choices and seek care sooner, which can improve their chances of a good outcome. Early diagnosis of serious diseases can offer more treatment options, slow down the disease, and improve quality of life.
Ubie also helps healthcare providers by making it easy to share symptom data with them, which saves time during appointments. This allows providers to focus more on diagnosis and care, making the process more efficient. With accurate symptom information, patients can be more involved in their care and avoid common issues like forgetting symptoms or hesitating to share concerns.
A recent study showed that Ubie’s Symptom Checker is good at suggesting relevant diseases, especially for nervous system and respiratory conditions. The study, which used 400 clinical cases, highlighted areas where Ubie performs well and areas that need improvement. Ubie’s AI, trained on over 50,000 medical publications, keeps getting better with feedback from experts and healthcare organizations. Ubie also works with patient groups to refine its AI, especially for rare diseases. The Symptom Checker now covers over 1,100 conditions and 3,500 symptom questions.
Clinical cases, commonly used for training healthcare professionals, provide a good way to test tools like Ubie. Their detailed and varied nature makes them a reliable benchmark for assessing Ubie’s performance.
“The study confirms that Ubie’s Symptom Checker is highly effective at providing users with relevant information about their symptoms, which can guide them to the care they need,” said Kenji Taylor, MD, MSc, lead author of the study and Clinical Consultant at Ubie.
