The Search Symptom screen evaluates country scope, coverage mode, and provider availability before it renders messaging and primary actions.


Screen Behavior

The Search Symptom screen follows a clear execution order:
location validation → input filtering → result rendering → coverage messaging.

Validate Location Context

The screen scopes all results to the selected country.

  • location.country must exist.
  • Without a resolved country, the screen does not trigger symptom search and does not render suggestions.

Determine Search Field Availability

The Type your need input depends on configuration.

  • When the input renders:
    Symptom search runs when input length meets the minimum threshold.

  • When the input does not render:
    The screen renders specialty shortcuts and coverage messaging only.

Coverage Messaging and Primary Action

After the screen evaluates availability, it renders one message above the primary action.

Permission Requirement

When location permission is not granted and the user selects Book a video visit, the app triggers the location permission request.

Case 1: Video Consultation Only (Coverage)

When coverage supports video consultation only:

  • Your coverage includes a video consultation only.
  • Book a video visit button.

Case 2: No Doctors in the Selected Area

When no providers match the selected location:

  • If video consultation is available:

    In this area, we will be happy to help you find a doctor through our Customer service or to offer you a video visit with one of our online doctors.

    • Book a video visit button.
  • If video consultation is not available:

    In this area, we will be happy to help you find a doctor through our Customer service.

Case 3: Video Consultation Only (Location)
