A symptom checker app can achieve virality by addressing a specific medical condition or health-related topic that the market finds interesting. The goal of a symptom checker app is to encourage users to share information about their symptoms with each other, which is accomplished by providing a platform for users to ask questions and receive personalized feedback from other users. In order to increase user engagement, symptom checker apps should offer real-time updates about new questions that have been posted and provide a large database of relevant answers.

A symptom checker app is a new category of app that uses the smartphone camera to scan barcodes and interpret images from medical sources. This technology is yet to be fully developed, and there are significant legal risks related to the interpretation of health information by software. In order to prevent liability, it is recommended that your app not make any diagnoses or offer recommendations for treatment. It is also suggested that your app not use any proprietary health data or content without consent from the data or content provider.
