Get organized information about symptoms to prepare for doctor visits - not medical advice
I want to research my symptoms so I can have an informed conversation with my doctor. I understand this is not medical advice and I should consult a healthcare professional. The symptoms I am experiencing are [SYMPTOMS]. These symptoms started [ONSET:select:today or very recently,a few days ago,about a week ago,a few weeks ago,a month or more ago] and they are [PATTERN:select:constant and unchanging,coming and going,getting worse over time,getting better over time,triggered by specific things]. On a scale of impact, these symptoms are [SEVERITY:select:mild - noticeable but not limiting my activities,moderate - somewhat affecting my daily life,severe - significantly impacting my ability to function,very severe - I cannot do normal activities]. Other relevant information: [CONTEXT?] (such as recent changes in diet, medications, stress, travel, exposure to illness, etc.) Help me prepare for a doctor visit by explaining what these symptoms might generally indicate in plain language. List questions I should ask my doctor. Suggest what information I should bring to the appointment like timing, triggers, and what makes it better or worse. Explain when these symptoms would warrant urgent care versus a regular appointment. Organize my symptoms in a clear way I can communicate to my healthcare provider. Remind me of the limitations of online symptom research and the importance of professional medical evaluation.

Get Early AccessSearching your symptoms online usually ends in two places: "it is nothing" or "you have a rare tropical disease." Neither is helpful. What you actually need before a doctor appointment is organized information, the right questions to ask, and clarity about how urgent your situation is.
This prompt helps you prepare for a medical visit, not replace one. Describe your [SYMPTOMS] in detail, note their [SEVERITY] on a scale from mild to severe, and include when [ONSET] began along with any patterns you have noticed. The AI organizes your information into a clear format a doctor can quickly understand. It suggests questions to ask during your appointment, what details to bring (timing, triggers, what makes it better or worse), and when to seek urgent care versus scheduling a regular visit.
The key distinction: this does not diagnose. It explains what your symptoms might generally indicate, in plain language, so you can have an informed conversation with your healthcare provider. It helps you communicate clearly, which leads to better care. Your doctor has 15 minutes. Walking in organized makes those minutes count. Use the Dock Editor to save your symptom notes and doctor visit prep so you have a record for follow-up appointments. For the stress that often accompanies health concerns, the Meditation Guide offers grounding techniques. If health worries are disrupting your daily routine, the Daily Journal Prompts can help you process those feelings.
In [SYMPTOMS], be as specific as you can: location, sensation, intensity. "Sharp pain in lower right abdomen that gets worse after eating" is far more useful than "stomach hurts." Include every symptom, even ones that seem unrelated.
Select when symptoms started in [ONSET] and their behavior in [PATTERN]. "Getting worse over time" signals something different than "coming and going." The AI uses this timeline to help you communicate the progression clearly to your doctor.
Choose your [SEVERITY] level based on how symptoms affect daily activities, not pain tolerance. "Moderate, somewhat affecting my daily life" means different things to different people. Think about what you have stopped doing because of these symptoms.
In [CONTEXT], list anything that might be relevant: new medications, recent travel, diet changes, stress levels, illness exposure, or family health history. Doctors look for connections between symptoms and life changes that patients often overlook.
Print or save the organized symptom summary, question list, and urgency guidance. Use it as your reference during the visit. Doctors appreciate patients who come prepared with organized information. It leads to more accurate diagnoses and better use of appointment time.
Organize scattered symptoms into a clear narrative before your doctor visit. Walk in with a written summary, timeline, and specific questions instead of trying to remember everything on the spot.
Get calm, factual information instead of the catastrophic results that symptom-search engines produce. The AI explains possibilities in plain language with appropriate context, reducing the spiral of worst-case scenarios.
Describe your child's symptoms and get organized notes plus urgency guidance. Know when a fever warrants urgent care versus a regular appointment, and what details the pediatrician will want to hear first.
Track new or changing symptoms between specialist visits. Organize observations about triggers, patterns, and severity changes over time to give your care team useful longitudinal data.
