The HIPAA-compliant application allows users to input their symptoms, and after a series of questions, K Health will give a list of possible diagnoses and recommend what action should be taken. The recommendations are based on actual prior treatments analyzed by K Health. Users can also share this data with their primary care doctor who can use this information to help determine if a visit to the hospital is necessary.
