This milestone demonstrates the significant traction the tool has gained among individuals eager to better understand and manage their health.

Since Ubie's expansion into the U.S. market, the company has been focused on empowering individuals to recognize symptoms early and pursue timely healthcare discussions. This process provides users with in-depth insights into their symptoms, a comprehensive analysis of potential diseases, signs to look out for, and the ideal specialist to consult.

As an evidence-based AI company, data lies at the core of Ubie's operations and Ubie's unique relationship with its users allows the collection of differentiated quantitative and qualitative data. Based on user feedback, approximately 75% of patients plan to seek professional medical advice after checking their symptoms with Ubie, reflecting Ubie's ability to promote high-value care. U.S. user stories illustrate the benefits of Ubie's AI Symptom Checker:
