Doctor

What This Skill Does

The Doctor skill serves as an intelligent, evidence-based health information assistant designed to help users navigate wellness, symptom checking, and preventive health strategies. It acts as a primary triage layer, providing context and clarification while strictly adhering to professional medical boundaries. The skill provides insights based on current medical standards, helping users understand when a symptom is common and manageable at home versus when it requires immediate escalation to a healthcare professional. It is built to prioritize safety by explicitly highlighting red flags and requiring the user to seek emergency care for life-threatening conditions.

Tips & Limitations

• Medical Disclaimer: The Doctor skill is not a substitute for a licensed physician. It cannot diagnose conditions or prescribe medication.
• Emergency Priority: If you suspect an emergency such as a heart attack, stroke, or anaphylaxis, ignore the AI's response and contact your local emergency services immediately.

• Stay Objective: Use the skill as a supportive tool to calibrate your health decisions, not as a replacement for professional clinical judgment.
