Nowadays, people are becoming more and more vulnerable to illnesses.

Do you often search Google your symptoms when you're ill and get irrelevant/scary set of answers? If yes, then from today, you'll have to put all your worries in the dustbin. Yes, you heard it right!

I said this because there's now a web application called SymCAT. It has been created by two Johns Hopkins medical student with a little knowledge of engineering. 

How it works? First you tell SymCAT what symptoms you're experiencing (e.g coughing), it'll show you the different possible diagnoses along their explanation.

Features

  1. It is free.
  2. No need to download any program to your computer (but yes, you'll have to download its Android app for your smartphone)
  3. Fast response time.
