Students told us
they needed this.
We hit campus and asked students about their health literacy. Here's what we found.
"I feel like the emergency room is if it's life-threatening right away, and urgent care is if you just want to see someone fast... but I don't really know, it feels subjective."
Scarlett C.
Pre-Med, USC
"I don't know the difference between a copay and deductible, but I've heard of them. I understood most of the explanation once it was broken down for me, but it's not something anyone ever taught me."
Robel M.
Business Admin, UCLA
"I think I roughly understand health insurance? Maybe a five or six out of ten. I didn't realize urgent care could handle something like a swollen ankle and fever."
Chloe S.
Sociology, USC
"I find myself relying on AI for health questions. It would be really nice to have an actual reliable source, especially in a fun app format."
