- Treat app-generated risk scores as prompts for a conversation, not a diagnosis.
- Ask what data the system used and how the result will be confirmed.
- Follow through with recommended clinical tests.
- Get a second opinion when the stakes are high or the result is unclear.
Good to know: Do not delay care because an app or chatbot says a symptom is harmless.
