License Schmitt-Thompson guidelines to power symptom checkers, self-triage apps, and AI-driven patient health voicebots or chatbots

Patients increasingly turn to digital tools first when they have health concerns. Symptom checkers, self-triage apps, and AI-powered health voicebots and chatbots can reduce unnecessary emergency department visits, guide patients to the right level of care, and extend the reach of your clinical programs. But these tools are only as good as the clinical content behind them. Schmitt-Thompson guidelines give your patient-facing solution a foundation that is evidence-based, continuously updated, and trusted by clinicians for more than 30 years.

We license STCC guidelines for patient-facing applications developed by health tech companies, health systems, and health plans. Whether you are building a web-based symptom checker, a mobile self-triage app, or an AI-powered bot for patient intake and after-hours guidance, our guidelines provide the structured clinical logic your application needs. Our content is available as a highly structured relational database and in PDF format, and our team will support you throughout the development process.

Generative AI opens new possibilities for patient-facing tools. Using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and related approaches, developers can build conversational experiences that draw directly on STCC triage content to answer symptom questions in natural language, collect patient history, and recommend appropriate next steps. STCC guidelines are a natural fit for these applications: comprehensive, well-structured, and updated annually based on current medical literature and national clinical guidelines.
