About Ionyx

What is Ionyx?

Ionyx helps you understand your symptoms and get the right care. Ion, our symptom checker, asks about what is going on and tells you how soon to get care. If you need a doctor you can book one on Ionyx straight after your check.

Start a check
How does Ionyx work?

1. Check your symptoms with Ion. It takes about 5 to 15 minutes. 2. See what to do next: care at home, see a doctor soon, be seen today or call 919. 3. Book a doctor if you need one and share your report with them. 4. Ionyx checks in with you afterwards.

How Ionyx works
Is Ionyx free?

Using Ionyx is free for patients. Each doctor sets their own fee for a visit and you see it before you book.

Can I use Ionyx in an emergency?

No. Ionyx is not for emergencies. If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of a stroke, heavy bleeding or you feel very unwell, call 919 now or go to the nearest emergency department.

Who is behind Ionyx?

Ionyx was developed by doctors and is built for The Bahamas. The doctors you can book on Ionyx are checked by the Ionyx team before patients can see them.

Where can I use Ionyx?

Ionyx is built for The Bahamas. You can check your symptoms from any island. Ion can also show clinics and emergency departments near you. You can book doctors who offer visits in person or by video.

Is Ion a doctor?

No. Ion is a symptom checker. It does not diagnose you. It helps you decide how soon to get care and gives a doctor a clear summary of what you told it. A doctor makes the diagnosis.

Is my information safe?

Your symptom check

Can I check symptoms for my child or someone else?

Yes. At the start Ion asks who the check is for: you, your child or someone else. For your child, add them to People you care for first so their details are filled in each time.

People you care for
Why did Ion tell me to call 919?

Some symptoms can be serious and need help straight away, like chest pain, trouble breathing or signs of a stroke. Ion always errs on the safe side. Please call 919 or go to the nearest emergency department now.

What do the care levels mean?

Care at home: you can look after this yourself and we tell you what to watch for. See a doctor soon: book within a few days. Be seen today: get seen within hours. Emergency: call 919 or go to an emergency department now.

I think Ion got it wrong

Ion can be over careful. If you feel worse than your result says, trust your feeling and get care. You can tell us what happened with the Help button so we can improve Ion.

My check is stuck or will not load

Refresh the page. Your answers are saved and the check carries on where you were. If the report says it is being prepared, wait a minute: it builds in the background. If Ion is down you see a notice. If you feel very unwell, call 919.

Where is my report?

When the check ends you can open the full report and save it as a PDF. Signed in, it is also kept in My checks.

My checks
Does a doctor see my check?

Only if you book one or show a doctor your report code or QR code. When you book you agree to share your report with that doctor. Before they accept they see a short summary with your first name. After they accept they see the full report.

How do I find a clinic near me?

Your results can show clinics and emergency departments on your island. Choose your island once and Ionyx remembers it.

Booking a doctor

How much does a visit cost?

Each doctor sets their own fee and shows it on their profile before you book. Video visits can have a different fee. You pay the doctor directly. Ionyx does not take payment.

Can I use my insurance?

Each doctor lists the insurance they take on their profile. Ask the doctor's office how they bill your plan.

Who can see my health information?
