All interactive tools
Use these tools to understand what’s going on, decide what to do next, and prepare for care. Tools are grouped by editorial status (clinically reviewed, clinician-edited, or AI draft).
What do the editorial labels mean?
Each tool is labeled by editorial status: 🤖 AI Draft (early draft), ✏️ Clinician-edited (edited for clarity/usability), or 💬 Clinically reviewed (reviewed for clinical accuracy and safety language).
