Symptom Checker, reliable and personalised medical information via My Care Premium by AG

When it comes to medical complaints, we all want clarity as soon as possible. We seek information online, but often only become more anxious because of what we read. As long as doubts persist, people remain anxious and lose concentration, including at work. The Symptom Checker helps ensure that your employees feel reassured and are not distracted by questions about their health. A plus for them, as well as for you!


What does the Symptom Checker, partner of AG offer?

The Symptom Checker is one of the medical tools your employees can use 24/7 through the MyAG Employee Bene​fits app, if you choose to offer them My Care Premium by AG​. In the tool, users describe their symptoms using a smart questionnaire, after which they immediately receive reliable information on the potential causes, which they can also download as a pdf.



The tool is an evidence-based alternative to generic search engines, which do not take into account the individual situation, provide incoherent information a​​nd often make people even more anxious than they already are. The Symptom Checker combines artificial intelligence with over a decade of medical expertise, and is therefore able to provide more accurate and reliable information.

Still want to see a doctor as soon as possible?​

The Symptom Checker helps your employees understand the possible cause of their complaints. However, the tool does not diagnose or replace a medical consultation. If your employee still wants to see a doctor after using the Symptom Checker, they can video call a doctor free of charge immediately, via the Doktr button in the MyAG Employee Benefits app. Indeed, My Care Premium by AG entitles you to two free video consultations per year for every employee and the insured family members. So no messing around trying to arrange a doctor's appointment during working hours and no wasted time in the waiting room either. What your employees do get is solid doctor's advice when it is most convenient for them.
