Symptoms that need urgent care — right now.
Getting started
- Create an account — email or Google.
- Start a new chat and describe what you're feeling.
- Attach a photo if it's visible (skin, eye, wound, rash).
- Review the AI's annotated response and suggested next steps.
Homunculus Health Labs is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
What Homunculus is good at
- Turning vague symptoms into a structured differential to discuss with a clinician.
- Reading everyday photos — rashes, bites, wounds, eye redness, swelling.
- Flagging red-flag symptoms that deserve urgent or emergency care.
- Explaining medical jargon in plain, grade-8 language.
- Keeping a private, per-account log of past conversations.
What it will not do
- Give a definitive diagnosis or prescribe medication.
- Replace an in-person exam, imaging, or laboratory testing.
- Handle mental-health crises — call local emergency services instead.
- Store or sell your data to third parties.
