Long before apps and cellphones there was the Merck Manual

"The app itself lets users input symptoms of illness and then suggests potential diagnoses"

And after I looked up my "symptoms" in the Merk Manual I was convinced I had: Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease, Cancer, Whooping Cough,Chondrodysplasia Punctata, Langer-Giedion Syndrome and The Clap.
