Start here: just talk to Ethia

There is nothing to set up. Your home screen is a conversation, and the fastest way to feel what Ethia does is simply to ask it something. If this is the only thing you ever do here, you will already be getting the point of it.

Under a minute · nothing to install or fill in

Meet your home

When you sign in, this is what you see. Ethia greets you and, once you have talked before, picks up where you left off. You do not have to set anything up first. The whole screen is just a conversation waiting for you.

Welcome back.
I'm right here. Ask me anything, or tell me how you're doing.

Good to know: nothing here can break, and nothing you type is shared. This is your private space to think out loud.

Type a question in your own words

Click the box at the bottom that says Ask me anything, and type the way you would text a friend who happens to know a lot about health. You do not need the right words or medical terms.

You did it right if: your words appear in the box and the Send button turns solid green, ready to press.

Press Send, and read what comes back

Click Send. In a moment, Ethia answers, in plain language, specific to you. This is the moment it clicks. That answer, right there, is the value. You did not have to log anything or fill in a single form to get it.

I've been exhausted all week, what should I keep an eye on?
Ethia
A week of fatigue is worth watching. Note when it's worst, like mornings, after meals, or after poor sleep, and whether anything else came with it, like joint aches or low appetite. If you want, do a quick check-in each day and I'll look for a pattern you can bring to your doctor.

You did it right if: Ethia replies to you by name, about what you asked. That's it. You're using Ethia.

Not sure what to ask? Start with a suggestion

If a blank box is intimidating, don't overthink it. On your home screen Ethia offers a few starters. Click any one and it begins that for you. You can always just say hello, too.

You did it right if: clicking a starter drops you straight into a conversation about it, with Ethia already working.

That is the whole idea. Everything else in Ethia, like check-ins, labs, and visits, just gives it more to work with. But talking to it is enough to start, today.
