AbiCare AI – How It Works

Welcome to AbiCare AI! This guide will walk you through how to effectively use our symptom checker.

1. Getting Started

AbiCare AI is designed to provide you with quick, AI-powered diagnostic suggestions and general guidance based on the symptoms you describe. It's a helpful first step to understand what you might be experiencing, but always remember to consult a healthcare professional for a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan.

2. Inputting Your Symptoms

You have three convenient ways to tell AbiCare AI about your symptoms: by selecting from a list, typing them out, or using your voice.

2.1 Select Symptoms

Browse through our categorized list of common symptoms.

  • Click on any symptom badge to select it. Selected symptoms will change color (e.g., to teal).
  • Click again to deselect a symptom.
  • You can select multiple symptoms across different categories.

2.2 Type Symptoms

Prefer to describe your symptoms in your own words? Use the text area provided.

  • Type a detailed description of what you're feeling (e.g., "I have a persistent cough, a mild fever, and my throat feels scratchy").
  • You can press the Enter key (without holding Shift) to submit your symptoms, or click the "Check Symptoms" button.

2.3 Voice Input

For a hands-free experience, use the voice input feature.

  • Click the microphone icon next to the text area to start recording. The icon will turn red and pulse while recording.
  • Speak clearly and describe your symptoms.
  • The system will automatically stop recording and submit your symptoms after a short pause in your speech.
  • If you need to stop recording manually, click the microphone icon again.

3. Understanding Your Results

After submitting your symptoms, a modal will appear with "Diagnostic Suggestions." Each suggestion provides detailed information:

Condition Details

  • Name: The name of the potential condition.
  • Description: A concise overview of the condition.
  • Matching Symptoms: Symptoms you provided that align with this condition.
  • Non-matching Symptoms: Symptoms typically associated with this condition that you did NOT mention. This helps you understand the completeness of the match.
  • Solution: General advice, home remedies, or types of medical treatments relevant to the condition.

⚠️ Remember: AbiCare AI provides suggestions, not a definitive diagnosis. Always consult a doctor for serious or urgent symptoms.

4. Using Text-to-Speech (TTS)

To make the results more accessible, you can have AbiCare AI read the diagnostic suggestions aloud.

Read Aloud Controls

  • Voice Selection: In the results modal, use the dropdown menu to choose between available voices (e.g., Male Voice, Female Voice).
  • Read All: Click the button to have the AI read all the diagnostic suggestions from top to bottom.
  • Pause/Resume: While the AI is speaking, you can click the button to temporarily stop playback, and to continue.
  • Stop: To stop the playback completely, click the button.
