Symptom Assessment That Actually Understands Patients
PearMDx's API generates adaptive, context-aware follow-up questions — so your patients get a thorough clinical intake, and your doctors get a structured summary before the first consultation. Every clinical standard is set and maintained by our Chief Medical Officer and medical team.
How It Works
Intelligent Symptom Collection, Not a Checklist
Every feature is designed to capture the full clinical picture — quickly, accurately, and safely.
Guided Symptom Interview
Your patients answer clear, adaptive questions about their symptoms — just like talking to a doctor. The AI asks smart follow-ups based on their answers, so you capture the full clinical picture without overwhelming users.
- Adaptive questioning tailored to each patient's responses
- Covers demographics, risk factors, and symptom history
- Supports multi-turn conversations for complex cases
- Clear, patient-friendly language — no medical jargon
Understands Patients in Their Own Words
Patients don't think in medical codes — they say "my chest feels tight and I can't breathe properly." PearMDx understands exactly what they mean, extracts the clinical detail automatically, and turns it into a structured assessment — no training, no special input format required.
- Patients describe symptoms naturally, the way they would to a doctor
- PearMDx identifies severity, duration, and onset automatically
- Plug straight into WhatsApp bots, voice agents, and chat interfaces
- Works seamlessly alongside the guided structured interview
Clear Results Your Team Can Act On Immediately
Every assessment delivers a ranked list of likely conditions, a triage urgency level, and a clear recommended action — so your doctors walk into every consultation already knowing what they are likely dealing with. No interpretation needed. No guesswork.
- Ranked conditions so the most likely diagnosis is always front and centre
- Triage urgency tells your team exactly how fast to act — emergency to self-care
- Recommended next steps included — clinic visit, ER, RDT test, or self-care
- Every result comes with the clinical reasoning behind it
No Patient Is Ever Left at Risk
If a patient describes a life-threatening symptom — crushing chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden paralysis — PearMDx skips every other question and fires an emergency alert instantly. No chatbot loop. No waiting. Your team is alerted before the patient even finishes the intake.
- Life-threatening presentations flagged in under 100ms — before the LLM even runs
- PearMDx knows when to stop asking and when to escalate immediately
- Every result passes 5 layers of clinical validation before reaching your team
- CMO-reviewed safety rules updated continuously as guidelines evolve
The Patient Journey
From Symptom to Action in 5 Steps
Here's exactly what happens when a patient uses your app with PearMedica's assessment API.

Patient Describes Their Symptoms
A patient using your app, website, or kiosk enters their symptoms — either by selecting from a list or describing how they feel in natural language.

AI Understands and Structures the Input
PearMDx understands what the patient described — picking out specific symptoms, how severe they are, how long they've lasted, and any relevant risk factors. No special format needed.
