REVIEW—”WebMD is a physician in your hands!”
WebMD is truly like a physician in your hands, but STOP, that doesn’t mean that you can diagnosis and treat yourself. I would consider WebMD an application that allows users to be more aware of their bodies AND to better communicate themselves with their physicians. Therefore, following any type of symptoms up with a trip to your doc is highly recommended and even encouraged by WebMD itself. That being said this is a wicked cool app that is great for any user.
By entering your age, location, and biological sex, WebMD works to allow users to point out their body’s problem areas and their symptoms. WebMD then works to offer the user medical solutions that might ease their uncomforting state and recommends medical physicians in their area that could be of assistance in a proper diagnosis. However, it’s important to note that some treatments are simple and can be self treated, like how to treat a twisted ankle. Others should be followed up with a physician or specialized practitioner.
WebMD also gives complete medical information about drugs, how they are to be consumed and under what circumstances. It also gives you a complete explanation of your diagnosis so that you might be understand it, and determine if the symptoms stated really connect with the diagnosis.
In addition to checking symptoms and offering drug and treatment information, WebMD also offers First Aid information. It is important to note that learning CPR in the moment is not useful. This is not a feature to wait to learn how to navigate. It’s more like a step-by-step manual that should be read ahead of time. Someone choking on food doesn’t have time to wait for WebMD to launch for you to learn the Heimlich. All of that being said, WebMD is a useful app that you should considering adding to your collection.
