 japanese-language medical app offer advice


Free Japanese-language medical app offers advice about coronavirus

The Japan Times

A Japanese medical advice app provider is making a limited time offer of a free app that allows users to seek advice from doctors about the coronavirus. The free service, in Japanese only, is provided by Agree, a company based in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture. It also operates a medical advice app called Leber. Users are asked to send information such as whether they have traveled to any places where COVID-19 has been confirmed or whether they have developed a fever. With about 120 doctors registered for the service, users receive advice in about 30 minutes about the urgency of their condition, such as if they are suspected of having pneumonia and if they should seek advice from a public health center.
