London-based Your.MD has raised a $5 million seed round led by Smedvig Capital, with participation from existing angel investors, TechCrunch is reporting.

The company is hoping to improve the way we self diagnose ourselves with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Your.MD’s smart health assistant app also uses data that is licensed from the National Health Service (NHS) to more efficiently provide information about user’s medical conditions, possible causes and what steps they should take to remedy the illness, including, of course, when to see a doctor.

According to Your.MD CEO Matteo Berlucchi, the app gives “accurate, understandable and fast health information that is relevant,” designed to act as a first line alternative to waiting days or weeks to see a doctor, or relying on information on the internet that is “immediate, but not screened by medical professionals or tailored to their health profile.”

“The solution we provide is scalable because of artificial intelligence, so that you can offer it to more and more people and make it better,” Berlucchi said. “If we had developed an app that connects users to a real doctor, we would still be relying on the scarcest resource (doctors) thus making the service worse as it gets more successful.”

The app is free, but Your.MD is looking to launch “value added services” in the near future, such as the option to talk to a doctor, get more specialized information, book a test and more.
