INFRMD provides an AI-assisted written assessment that is reviewed and signed off by a qualified clinician based on the information you provide. It does not replace an in-person physical examination or your treating healthcare professional. INFRMD is not an emergency service — if your symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening, seek urgent in-person medical care.
