ER Advisor

Need medical attention but have little time on hand? Try ER Advisor, a service online that helps anyone find out whether such illness is serious or not. Just simply enter the symptoms and the ER Advisor team can help you analyze them.

This helpful site is created by Mike Hartmmann, BSc, MPH, an epidemiologist, along with a web developer, both of whom wanted to give a hand to those burdened on hospitals. As a rule, people go to ER to find medical attention whereas they can get them somewhere else instead. So, ER Advisor took one step ahead by consulting nurses, doctors, and other epidemiologists and created a site for such cause.

Besides entering the symptoms on the site, a variety of disease surveillance are used by ER Advisor. These are from the Centers for Disease Control, State and Provincial surveillance site, and the Public Health Agency of Canada. With these, an accurate and updated image of the happenings of your area is examined.

If you use ER Advisor, you can check your symptoms from a database which contains over 200 symptoms. Simply type in the symptoms and ER Advisor will take the rest from there. Unmistakably, once you know whether it is an emergency or not, you will have a peace of mind knowing that you have been given a sound recommendation. Also, you can explore the symptom map to see what’s happening in your world.

As helpful as it may sound, ER Advisor only provides information as a general guide only. While they give it an effort to ensure the site’s information is correct, it is still the responsibility of the user to confirm the currency and the authenticity of information offered. The site also disclaims that it does not provide medical advice but is intended for informational purposes only.
