News Release 8-Mar-2021
US and UK versions failed to pick up severe COVID-19, bacterial pneumonia, or sepsis
BMJ
Digital COVID-19 'symptom checkers' may stop some patients from getting prompt treatment for serious illness, suggests an international case simulation study, published in the online journal BMJ Health & Care Informatics.
Both the US and UK symptom checkers consistently failed to identify the symptoms of severe COVID-19, bacterial pneumonia, and sepsis, frequently advising these cases to stay home, the findings indicate.
The availability and use of symptom checkers is on the rise, and they are currently being used at a national level to pick up COVID-19 infection.
