Prisma Health is the first healthcare system in South Carolina to launch an interactive symptom-checker for COVID-19 on its website. The service is free to everyone, regardless of whether they are patients at Prisma Health.
The click-to-chat platform, which launched Friday has already drawn positive comments from users for its clear content and easy 24-7 access from any computer or mobile device. The tool is available at https://www.prismahealth.org/coronavirus/ or by texting “COVID19” to 83973.
In its first five days, the tool generated nearly 3,000 clicks and was used interactively by more than 600 patients with nearly 350 meeting criteria for COVID-19 testing.
