19. What is Healthcheck and how do I use it?
Healthcheck is a digital questionnaire designed to give users insight into their long-term disease risks, and the changes they can make to reduce their risk and improve their long-term health. Through a detailed assessment of medical history, family history, diet, lifestyle and mental health, Healthcheck creates a projection of the user’s risk of contracting a range of diseases in the next 5 years, based on peer-reviewed epidemiological data. These diseases are represented to the user through the Digital Twin, a graphic representation of the human body broken down by organ. From here users can explore specific diseases and understand their risks and the factors affecting them. Risks are shown in comparison to people of the same age and gender, to show the user how their risks compare to people like them.
To note: Healthcheck is intended for use by adults over the age of 18. Healthcheck is not suitable for pregnant women and users with long-term medical conditions or disabilities who may have different needs and risks than shown.
20. How accurate is the disease risk calculation?
Disease risk calculation in Healthcheck is based on statistics using a risk scoring system. This risk scoring system is built from population-based epidemiological data for diseases and their risk factors, gathered primarily from observational studies of populations. As such, risk score can be considered reflective of the typical individual in the population for whom the questionnaire responses given match those of the user. The model has been tested against individual outcomes for a subset of the diseases using a large longitudinal population study.
21. What is Symptom Checker and how do I use it?
Symptom Checker asks questions about symptoms via a chatbot interface and then suggests the most appropriate next step to take, as well as possible causes for symptoms like these. It acts as a “digital-first” gateway for people seeking care, powered by AI using best available evidence and validated by teams of doctors. The Symptom Checker can help you better understand worrying symptoms and direct you where best to seek further advice from healthcare professionals. It gives fast outcomes and provides information about where the medical concerns and information entered might need to be treated and/or possible causes for what a user entered (and their associated likelihoods).
22. How accurate is the information provided by the Symptom Checker?
The Symptom Checker is powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), which provides a triage outcome and probability-based statements of possible conditions. The service has been created, reviewed and validated by Babylon doctors and computer scientists and is tested frequently. Babylon updates its epidemiological model often and ensure that it is clinically relevant by considering local disease burden, risk factors and suitable for local context (eg. language and cultural considerations).
The service has also been customised for Singapore, including diseases specific to this region and involving Singapore-based physicians registered with the Singapore Medical Council who are involved in the localisation and testing process. It will be continuously monitored for accuracy as well as compliance with the relevant safety standards and regulatory requirements.
Note: This is not a diagnostic tool and is only intended for general wellbeing purposes by adults over the age of 18 and is not intended to be used for any medical purposes. The Symptom Checker should not be used during pregnancy, or if you have any dermatological conditions or their associated symptoms. Any health-related information provided should not be treated as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Please consult a doctor for any medical advice required or if you are concerned about any of your symptoms. Symptom Checker should never be used in a medical emergency, local emergency services should be contacted in this situation.
23. How do I access my chat history?
If you use the Symptom Checker for the first time, there is no “Chat History” to view. If you have already registered and used the Symptom Checker on a previous visit, you can view your chat history by clicking on the ‘Health’ page, then clicking on ‘Feeling Unwell’; you will be directed to a page that shows ‘View Chat history’.
