Buoy Health

Buoy Health is an AI symptom checker that asks follow-up questions about how you feel and suggests what might be going on and where to get care. It's free for consumers and backed by health articles written by clinicians.

You describe your symptoms in a chat and the assistant narrows down possible causes based on your answers, then points you toward options such as self-care, a doctor's visit or urgent care. The site also hosts clinician-written articles on common symptoms.

Buoy's reviewers publish product, service and doctor recommendations and Top 10 lists to help people act on what they've learned. It's a guide to choosing care, not a diagnosis or a replacement for a medical professional.
