4. Our Services

4.1. We provide the following Services through the App:

a. Symptom Checker: a digital symptom checker that, after answering questions about Your health complaint, immediately gives You insight into probable causes, and advises whether You should speak to the GP and how urgent that is. Quin uses the symptom checker developed by Ada Health GmbH. The terms and conditions of Ada Health apply to the use, and You must accept these before the first use;

b. My Health: the part of the App that consists of Your profile, Your complaint reports, further diagnostic results, and other reports (such as when using the Service Specialist Consult);

c. Chat; if Your GP is affiliated with Quin, You can have direct contact with your GP practice (the GP or the assistant) via the chat module in the App to ask a question or, for example, have a photo viewed; and

d. Specialist Consult: if Your GP is affiliated with Quin, Your GP can ask a specialist to assess Your health complaints and give advice on the possible diagnosis and treatment ("Specialist Consult"). A Specialist Consul can take place (i) without You, when only Your GP has direct contact with the specialist, or (ii) with Your cooperation, when You answer additional questions from the specialist and may also have a direct video consultation with the specialist. A Specialist Consult can only be conducted after a consult with and on the initiative of Your GP. Your GP remains Your practitioner and will determine Your further treatment or diagnosis based on the Specialist Consult. Your GP is therefore always Your point of contact for complaints. You can refrain from treatment via Specialist Consult at any time.

4.2. Quin has the right to make functional, procedural or technical changes or improvements to the App, the Services and the Platform. You should therefore always use the latest version of the App. If You do not, the App may not function properly or be used at all.

5.4. The Results of the Symptom Checker are stored in a complaint report. If Your GP is affiliated with Quin, You can share the complaint report directly with Your GP and sometimes also schedule an appointment if necessary.

5.5. If You have any questions about the Results or if You intend to make decisions that may affect Your health based on the Results, You should always first consult with a qualified medical professional, such as Your GP or a medical specialist.

5.6.
