Kinsa's app for health recently launched on iOS and Android, serving as a smart guide to consult when a family member falls ill. Using anonymous data inputs from nearly a million households, the app leverages the power of artificial intelligence to determine the public health risk based on factors like age, symptoms, duration of sickness and contagiousness. The app also helps to connect people to medical guidance and services to help them make their way back to better health.
On the app, users will find a "what to do next" feature that helps to suggest natural remedies and home care solutions, identify severe symptoms, when to contact a doctor and more. The app also puts together a helpful timeline that records temperature readings, when a medication was given and should be given again.
