\"Viagra\"<\/p>\n

How many times have you had a medical symptom and looked it up on a search engine? Self-diagnosing a problem like erectile dysfunction (ED) on the web is probably not the best way to get help.<\/p>\n

Computers really aren’t the same as people. <\/p>\n

Robots are not as intuitive as human beings and nothing really can take the place of talking with a doctor – whether it’s an in-person conversation or via secure phone or video conferencing.<\/p>\n

Take the case of a doctor from the UK’s National Health program who was testing an app<\/a> called Babylon Health. <\/p>\n

He pinged the app and told it he had a nosebleed. The app asked him if he was having erection problems and he answered, “I don’t know.” <\/p>\n

The app also asked if he had a reduced desire for sex and he said, “Yes.”<\/p>\n

So, the app ignored the nosebleed and diagnosed him with ED. That was after<\/em> he answered 20-questions after typing in the problem, which was, “I have a nosebleed.” That’s why so many doctors are wary of diagnosis by Google.<\/p>\n

There’s Not Always An App For That<\/h3>\n

A Macleans’ article<\/a> says the health app market is worth about $4 billion, with more than 165,000 available. The problem is that “Some of them are wildly incorrect.” <\/p>\n

Men who try to use an app to diagnose their ED, or any other problem, for that matter, run the risk of an inaccurate diagnosis, wasting valuable time. <\/p>\n

Here’s a simple tip: Talking with a doctor is the best way to determine if symptoms are probably ED or something else.<\/p>\n
