As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, patients experiencing symptoms potentially attributable to the disease require timely assessment. As the disease burden increases, healthcare professionals may increasingly be challenged to meet the demand. Automated assessment tools—such as digital self-assessment applications—offer a potential strategy for providing guidance to patients without requiring direct attention from healthcare professionals. To date, several COVID-19 self-assessment tools have been released. Our team recently developed a web-based COVID-19 selfassessment tool, available in English and Spanish, offering guidance for patients experiencing potential COVID-19 symptoms. Based on user input, the tool recommends medical consultation vs. home-care, and provides guidance for preventing infection spread. In this analysis, we describe the results of almost 300,000 digital self-assessments.
