Get a Quick Virtual Strep Throat Assessment on the Go
If you think you or your child has strep throat, a fast assessment can provide peace of mind with answers right away. Springfield Urgent Care has partnered with CurieDx to bring screening tools powered by artificial intelligence (AI) right to your fingertips.
Now, getting answers is as simple as scheduling a telehealth appointment with a health care provider and scanning your throat with your smartphone.
How Does AI Strep Throat Screening Work?
Remote strep throat detection with Springfield Urgent Care and CurieDx is easy. During a virtual visit, our team at Springfield Urgent Care will send you a secure link to download the CurieDx app on your smartphone. You can follow the instructions to upload a clear photo of your throat or your child’s throat directly through the app. The app will guide you through the process in minutes, and your information is secured and encrypted at every step.
Once you’ve uploaded your photo, the app uses the latest AI technology to deliver a real-time risk assessment right to your phone. This risk assessment indicates whether you are at a high or low risk for strep throat and is not a substitute for a full clinical diagnosis. A provider will examine the results, ask about your symptoms and determine the best next steps, which may include treatment, such as antibiotics, if appropriate. You can schedule an additional virtual follow-up visit at any time.
How Accurate Are the Results?
CurieDx AI tools are trained on thousands of confirmed negative and positive strep throat images, with testing conducted across different patient ages, sexes, races and ethnicities. Research shows that the app’s results are comparable to the accuracy reported in peer-reviewed studies completed by clinicians.
At Springfield Urgent Care, we add an extra layer of accuracy by reviewing your assessment results during a telehealth visit.
What Are the Benefits?
Our new telehealth strep throat assessment allows you to evaluate your risk of strep throat from the comfort of your home or workplace — anytime, anywhere. No swabbing is necessary with a smartphone strep throat symptom checker. Simply open your mouth and take a quick photo of your throat.
Real-time results from this AI-powered tool help you connect with a provider faster and, if appropriate, begin treatment to find relief sooner. There is no added cost for the virtual screening, so you only pay for any telehealth visits you choose to schedule.
If you’re experiencing throat pain and receive a negative result, Springfield Urgent Care can arrange a follow-up visit, or you can visit one of our walk-in urgent care locations for in-clinic care. Our locally owned, community-focused urgent care group is committed to delivering rapid service and compassionate care.
