Dr. AI

An AI-powered mobile application designed to provide preliminary health diagnoses and guidance. Users can upload photos of skin issues, answer symptom quizzes, or use a chatbot to get an assessment of whether their condition requires a doctor's visit or can be waited out. It aims to offer accessible, immediate, and digestible health information, especially for common concerns, while heavily disclaiming it's not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Why now

Advances in large language models (LLMs) like GPT have enabled diagnostic capabilities that can even outperform doctors in some areas (with proper disclaimers), making this type of AI-powered health app feasible today.

Market gap

Absence of a dedicated, user-friendly AI mobile app for preliminary skin and symptom diagnosis on the App Store. Current LLMs require specific prompting to bypass disclaimers and lack a structured app experience.
