Female, 30s
I wanted to make sure I got the correct diagnosis and I googled and checked a few medical websites for my fibromyalgia. Ubie was user-friendly, quick, easy to understand, and the explanations were very clear and informative. After checking the symptoms, I was able to download a summary for my neurologist and myself for reference. I particularly liked the section that breaks down specifically what to mention to my doctor based on my reported symptoms. Ubie helps me to organize my disorganized thoughts, which in turn saves my time, energy, and stress!

I have already been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and I wanted to check if my symptoms (Easily tired, Dizziness, Headache) are because of it. I got tired very quickly and found this website to check my condition. Ubie gave me a comprehensive list that covered many of my problems and symptoms. It was pretty spot on in terms of what I've been dealing with.

I liked that there were a lot of answers to choose from, some that I wouldn’t have considered relevant but definitely applied to my headaches. The AI was much more thorough and concerned than my doctor.
