Answer 1

【答案】Version 1

With the development of new technology, online symptom checkers are being used by more and more people. Some studies show that it is beneficial to citizens while others demonstrate that it may lead to bad results.

On a personal level, I would rather turn to these online symptom checkers in the first place, once I feel uncomfortable physically. Firstly, the development of the online symptom checkers is based on artificial intelligence, Surely, which has been widely applied in medicine. Secondly, since all you need to do is click a mouse and type your symptoms which have been stored in the database, these tools can surely save you a lot of time and money compared to visit a doctor in a hospital. Finally, if people can handle some common diseases themselves at home, it will greatly free more doctors to treat those in greatest need.

I’m sure the symptom checkers make sense, especially during an epidemic.

Version 2

With the development of new technology, online symptom checkers are being used by more and more people. Some studies show that it is beneficial to citizens while others demonstrate that it may lead to bad results.

As far as I can see, it is no good trusting the online symptom checkers when you feel sick. One of the main problems is that such tools don’t know your medical history or other symptoms. Accordingly, depending on too little information, they are likely to make a wrong or partial diagnosis. Then, people will be told to get care when they don’t need it and bear the costs and inconvenience. What’s more, making a diagnosis is sometimes a matter of life and death. However, the tools won’t bear the corresponding responsibilities for their mistakes.

On the whole, while they can fill a need in the modern health system, the online symptom checkers are far from a replacement for going to the doctor.
