Primary

MeasureTime frame
Accuracy in the assessment of 10 fictitious case vignettes. Participants are asked to decide after presentation of each vignette (in a questionnaire) whether the case describes a medical emergency or not.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- "Verbatim" representation of the symptom checker accuracy, accuracy of other people and accuracy of oneself (pre & post) - "Gist" representation of the symptom checker accuracy, accuracy of other people and accuracy of oneself (pre & post) - Behavioral trust - Subjective trust - Intention to use - Self-perceived usefulness - Recommendation to others
