Symptom checkers are approved medical products which are essentially designed to assist you in the initial medical assessment of your personal situation. Following the structured symptom query, you will not only receive an analysis of your personal symptom, but also information about the potential findings and suggestions for further action, e.g. through the integrated doctor search of the Health Foundation. Symptom checkers should never replace medical advice or a professional diagnosis.

Hallesche provides the symptom checker in cooperation with DOCYET GmbH. The Symptomchecker is an approved medical device according to MPG. DOCYET has established its own editorial team of medical professionals, e.g. nurses and doctors, who generate and continuously update the content of the information on symptoms and illnesses. The symptom check is based on the functionality of Infermedica, which is certified in accordance with the highest industrial standards.

No data is transferred to Hallesche. As part of the symptom check, DOCYET works with Infermedica, the Health Foundation and Deutsche Telekom AG. No data is transferred to analytics services, e.g. Google Analytics or social platforms, e.g. Facebook. You can view the full privacy policy of our partner DOCYET here.

Our partner DOCYET works together with the Robert Koch Institute and the BZgA here and updates the information in the application on demand.

Current health topics, valuable tips and information, health lexicon, health tests, comprehensive service offers and much more can be found in the health portal of the Hallesche.
