Care Urgency Check
Three-tier red-flag router: ER, urgent care, or self-care — no diagnosis.
Helps users think through ER, urgent care, and self-care urgency based on published red-flag lists. Checks universal red flags first, then symptom-specific flags.
Part of: Biological Maintenance
How to use
- Pick primary symptom.
- Check any red-flag boxes that apply.
- Verdict: Level 1 (ER now), Level 2 (urgent care today), or Level 3 (self-care acceptable).

Before you act on the result
Health-related tools are educational planning aids. They can make a number or assumption visible, but they do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or replace clinician guidance.
If the result points to risk, symptoms, medication questions, or urgent changes, use it as a note for a qualified professional rather than a final decision.

Frequently asked questions
› Is this a diagnosis? Trust & accuracy
No. It is a routing heuristic based on published red-flag lists. It can miss atypical presentations. If unsure, call the nurse line or emergency services.
› Why the ultra-conservative defaults? Troubleshooting
False-negative cost (missed MI, stroke, sepsis) is orders of magnitude higher than false-positive cost (unnecessary ER trip).
