How DoctoGuide works

Step 1 — Describe what you're feeling

Open DoctoGuide and describe your symptoms in your own words — in English or Hindi/Hinglish. There's no rigid checklist to fill in. "Fever and body ache since yesterday, worse at night" is enough for the AI to start working with.

Step 2 — Answer a few targeted follow-up questions

DoctoGuide's AI asks only what's relevant to your specific symptoms — duration, severity, what makes it better or worse, any related history. This is the same information a doctor would ask in the first minute of a consultation, gathered before you ever see one.

Step 3 — Get guidance, urgency, and next steps

• A plain-language explanation of what could be causing your symptoms.
• An urgency read: safe to manage at home, see a doctor soon, or seek urgent care now.
• Which type of specialist fits your case — see which specialist to see.
• Doctors near you, when you're ready to book an actual consultation.
• A clear summary you can share with the doctor you eventually see, so you don't repeat yourself.

What makes it different from searching symptoms online

A search engine returns articles written for the general population; DoctoGuide reads your specific description and responds to it directly. It doesn't stop at information — it tells you what to do next: monitor, book a specialist, or treat it as an emergency. See the full AI health assistant and symptom checker pages for more on each part.

What DoctoGuide doesn't do

It doesn't diagnose, prescribe, or replace a licensed physician — it's an information and triage layer that gets you to the right care faster. For chest pain, breathing trouble, sudden weakness, heavy bleeding, or any other emergency, skip the app and call your local emergency number — see emergency numbers by country.
