A new Web site launched today provides a self-assessment tool designed to evaluate for the flu and help people make the determination about whether to see a doctor. The site also allows people to share the information with family members and with their doctors.
AMAfluhelp.org. was developed by Colorado-based HealthCircles, and its launch was kicked off by Gov. Bill Ritter today. People can quickly answer a series of questions based on CDC guidelines. It can also generate a doctor’s note about when it is safe to return to work or school. The site also attempts to answer a number of questions about the flu.
