Digital healthcare app Babylon has launched a new service designed to assist patients with checking health symptoms that may be associated with Covid-19.

The Covid-19 Care Assistant is free for Babylon members and allows patients to check their symptoms, monitor their illness and attend a virtual consultation with a doctor if necessary.

Users are also given access to a bespoke care plan and information to help them cope with their symptoms in self-isolation.

The programme checks symptoms using an artificial intelligence (AI) chat service, which asks questions about symptoms and provides information on possible next steps. Symptoms can be continually monitored and advice provided by team members and doctors can be revisited, if patients need further details.

The app also contains continually-updated information and videos on how to self-manage Covid-19, care for others with the disease and minimise contamination.

Babylon’s Covid-19 Care Assistant will also refer a patient for hospital care when needed.
