How It Works

Three steps. No appointments needed.

No app to download, no insurance to verify, no waiting room. Just open a conversation and tell Clara what's going on.

01

Tell Clara what's going on

Describe your symptoms in your own words, upload a lab report, or share a photo. No medical jargon required — talk to Clara like you'd talk to a friend who happens to be a doctor.

02

Get a clear, clinical assessment

Clara checks your symptoms against thousands of conditions, asks smart follow-up questions, and factors in your age, history, and risk profile to narrow things down.

03

Know your next step

You'll get a plain-English answer: is this something you can handle at home, should you see your doctor this week, or should you head to urgent care now? No more guessing.

Capabilities

What Clara actually does for you.

Think of Clara as the smart friend you text at midnight when something feels off — except she's trained on medical literature and never sleeps.

Symptom Checker

Stop spiraling. Start understanding.

You know that 2 AM moment when you Google a headache and end up convinced you're dying? Clara uses the same diagnostic thinking your doctor does — differential diagnosis — to tell you what's likely, what's unlikely, and what to actually do about it.

  • Covers 10,000+ symptoms across every body system
  • Tells you: handle at home, see your doctor, or go to the ER
  • Creates a list of questions to bring to your appointment

Got it. A few quick questions — are you staying hydrated? Any nausea or vision changes?

Tension headache42%
Orthostatic hypotension15%
Handle at homeIncrease fluids to 8+ glasses/day. If symptoms persist beyond 48 hours, see your doctor.
Lab & Report Analysis

Finally understand what those numbers mean.

Your doctor says your results are "fine" but you've got values flagged in red and no idea what TSH or ALT actually means. Upload your report — Clara breaks down every number, highlights what matters, and flags anything your doctor should know about.

  • Reads blood panels, metabolic panels, urinalysis, and more
  • Explains out-of-range values in plain English
  • Catches medication interactions you might miss

Clara's Summary
2 values need attention: your ALT is elevated (may indicate liver stress) and Vitamin D is low. Mention both to your doctor at your next visit.
Care Navigation

Know who to see — and what to say when you get there.

Clara doesn't just say "see a doctor" and leave you hanging. It figures out what kind of specialist you need, helps you prepare for the visit, and gives you a summary you can hand to your provider so you don't forget anything in the moment.

  • Matches you with the right type of specialist
  • Builds a pre-visit summary so you make the most of your time
  • Explains urgency so you know if it can wait or can't
Find the right doctor
ClaraFirst
Gastroenterologist
Based on: recurring abdominal pain, elevated ALT
This week
Pre-visit summary for your doctor
  • Upper abdominal pain, 3 weeks, worse after eating
  • ALT elevated at 68 U/L (Jan 15 lab work)
  • No family history of liver disease
  • Current medications: omeprazole 20mg daily
See within 5–7 days — Not an emergency, but don't delay. Your symptoms combined with elevated liver enzymes warrant a specialist evaluation.
Second Opinion

Your doctor said surgery. Are there other options?

Big medical decisions shouldn't be made in a 15-minute appointment. Clara helps you understand your diagnosis, compare treatment options side-by-side, weigh risks and benefits, and walk into your next appointment with the right questions ready.

  • Side-by-side comparison of treatment paths
  • Risk-benefit breakdown backed by published research
  • A ready-made question list for your next visit

  • What's the re-tear risk with PT alone vs. surgery?
  • Would a brace allow me to delay the decision?
Wellness Planning

Not just when you're sick — for staying well, too.

Clara builds a personalized plan around how you actually live — your sleep, your diet, your stress, your goals. It's not a generic wellness blog. It's guidance shaped by your health history and what you're trying to achieve.

  • Nutrition and exercise guidance that fits your life
  • Sleep and stress strategies that work
  • Ongoing support for chronic conditions

What beta testers are saying

★★★★★

"Got some lab results back at 10 PM and had no idea what half the numbers meant. Clara broke it all down — told me which values were fine, which one to flag for my doctor, and what questions to ask. Slept way better that night."

"My toddler spiked a fever at 2 AM and I was one Google search away from a full panic. Clara walked me through what to watch for and when to actually go to the ER versus ride it out. Exactly what I needed."

"Doctor said I needed knee surgery. Before committing, I asked Clara about alternatives. It showed me the evidence for physical therapy first, gave me the right questions to ask, and my surgeon agreed to try PT. Saved me a lot of stress."

FAQ

Questions people ask us

No — and it's not trying to. Clara is the step between "something feels off" and sitting in your doctor's office. It helps you understand what's going on, figure out if you need to see someone, and show up prepared when you do. For emergencies, always call 911.

It's free. No credit card, no trial that expires, no "premium" tier you need to unlock the useful stuff. Symptom checking, lab analysis, care navigation — all of it. We believe health information shouldn't have a paywall.

Nope. Clara works for everyone regardless of insurance status. If anything, it's especially useful if you don't have easy access to a doctor — it helps you figure out what's worth a visit and what you can manage on your own.

Clara is built on medical AI that scored 100% on the USMLE (the exam doctors take to get licensed). It's continuously updated with peer-reviewed research and reviewed by practicing physicians. That said, it provides guidance — not diagnoses. Think of it as a really well-informed starting point.

Your conversations are encrypted end-to-end and we're fully HIPAA-compliant. We don't sell your data, we don't share it with advertisers, and you don't even need to give us your real name to use Clara.

If your symptoms suggest something urgent, Clara will tell you clearly and help you connect with emergency services. It won't downplay something serious. But it's not a substitute for 911 — if you think you're having an emergency, call for help first.

Pretty much anything. Clara covers 50+ medical specialties — from dermatology and cardiology to mental health, women's health, pediatrics, GI issues, and more. If you're wondering about a symptom, a lab result, or a treatment option, just ask.
