In an era where algorithm-driven symptom checkers dominate, many of us still feel powerless when symptoms appear. That’s why Dr Maya GPT offers a refreshing alternative: a colour-coded system for symptoms developed by Dr Kadiyali Srivatsa — one that puts you in control of your health story, not just a line in an algorithm.

The Problem with Algorithm.s Traditional symptom checkers work: you plug in a symptom, and you get possible diagnoses. But they often overlook the bigger picture: your emotions, your story, how symptoms combine. The user becomes passive. The system dictates. The result? Fear, anxiety, unnecessary visits — or worse, ignored danger.

Introducing the Colour-Coded System. Dr Srivatsa took 40 years of clinical work and distilled it into a simple colour system:

  • Green: Moderate or no urgent symptoms — Speak to Nurse triage NHS111 or a doctor
  • Yellow: Mild-to-moderate symptoms — watch, maybe ask a chemist.
  • Blue: Signs of infection or isolation needed.
  • Red: Serious symptoms — urgent medical attention. This system mirrors how experienced clinicians think — not just “which disease?” but “how serious is this scenario?” and “what should I do right now?”

Why It’s Better Than Pure Algorithms

  • Recognises patterns of multiple symptoms rather than one-by-one.
  • Integrates emotional and psychological context (like fear-triggered escalation).
  • Gives you a visual, intuitive idea of severity — colours speak faster than complex medical jargon.
  • Empowers you to act, not just wait.
  • Works in low-tech, low-literacy settings because it uses simple cues.

How Dr Maya GPT Makes It Real. Dr Maya GPT uses the colour-coded system in an AI environment. You tell your story, choose symptoms, and the system uses the colours to triage and guide:

  • Self-care home monitoring (Green)
  • Consult pharmacist/health worker (Yellow)
  • Isolate and consult (Blue)
  • Emergency care (Red) It is not a replacement for a doctor — but a companion that helps you make informed decisions. drmayagpt.com

Final Note: You don’t need to accept fear when symptoms appear. You don’t need to surrender your body and mind to an algorithm you don’t understand. With Dr Maya GPT and its colour-coded system, you reclaim agency. You observe, you interpret, you decide — with guidance, but not control—that’s actual intelligence.
