The WebMD Symptom Checker application provides you with information on possible conditions you may have based on symptoms you enter and your response to a series of questions. To get started you must enter your age, sex and zip code (optional) on the Profile screen.

• Tap the Age entry box to bring up the number pad and enter your age.
• Select either Male or Female to set your body map (required).
• Tap the Zip Code entry box and enter your Zip Code (optional).

When you have completed these steps, tap the orange Submit button. Click Cancel if you are not ready to use this tool.

Your profile is now saved on your device. You may edit the profile by clicking on the Profile button located in the top right of screen of the body map.

You should now see the Symptom Checker body that is based on the gender (M or F) you selected. If this is not the gender you selected, tap the Profile button to change it.

If your symptom is on the opposite side of the body, tap the Flip button to turn the body over.

If your symptoms are related to your skin or a general symptom, tap the List button at the top of the screen. You can also select from a list of body parts by tapping on the List button as well. Otherwise you can tap a part of the body on the image where you are experiencing your symptoms.

There are a number of ways to select a symptom on the body image:

• You can tap the body map at the exact site of concern.
• Or, you can use the pinch and spread gestures which will zoom in and out of the body allowing you to see a specific body part (e.g. eyes or ears on the head). When you are ready, tap the site on the body that has the symptom.

When you tap a specific site on the body, you will see an alphabetized list of specific health symptoms with arrow pointers.

When you select a symptom you may be asked additional questions to help narrow down your symptoms. Use the scroll wheel at the bottom to choose the appropriate answer and then click Next Question or if it is the final question, you will see a continue button.

If, at any time, you want to go back to the list of health conditions, tap the Back arrow located at the bottom of your device.

You will then see a Your Symptoms screen showing the symptoms you have selected so far.

To add another symptom to the Your Symptoms screen, tap the Plus Sign located at the top right of the screen.

Once you have chosen all the appropriate symptoms and they are listed on the Your Symptoms screen, tap the View Possible Conditions button.

NOTE: To remove any incorrect symptoms, tap the Edit button. To delete an entry, tap the red Delete button that appears.

Now a Possible Conditions screen appears.

Scroll through the list of Possible Conditions to find a condition that matches your symptom(s).

Tap the condition that matches to see details on the condition.

The condition details screen has three tabs: Overview, Symptoms, and Articles.

• Overviewexplains each health condition and provides links to additional content on WebMD.
• Symptoms explains all the signs and symptoms associated with the health condition.
• Article lists related articles on the WebMD site.
