Thank you for flagging that! We'll get onto fixing that UI/UX issue.

In the short term, if you click on the autocomplete results or select any of them, it'll bring you to the content page. (See here: http://imgur.com/a/XFdOg)

Also in the meantime, the link to the Strep Throat article is: http://www.myhealthwiz.com/condition_overview/101558

Again, thank you so much for flagging!

Absolutely! We partner with a few API providers who are experts at building the logic that drives the symptom checker, and then build our own layer on top of that to make it as user friendly as possible.

As for how the AI itself specifically works, given the data it has on the stated symptoms (Fever, Sore Throat, Chills, etc), it has based on prior data a best guess of the top conditions correlated with those symptoms.

Then, it asks a question that can help inform its calculations, which has simple boolean answers (True this symptom exists, False it does not exist). Then, the ranking of conditions updates, and the API responds with the next symptom it is curious about to drive towards a smarter diagnosis.

This is great -- lord knows that I could use them!

Its really slick! I tried using it, but seem to be having the same issue :/

Bet a place like collegeconfidential.com would go bonkers over this tool :)
