Quick answers about AFYA VERIFY.
Learn how the platform works, what information is stored and the safe next step after receiving a result.
01What is AFYA VERIFY?+
AFYA VERIFY helps people ask health questions and check information in plain language. It provides educational responses, which may later be reviewed by the team.
02How quickly will I receive an answer?+
A preliminary response normally appears after you submit a question. If the analysis service is unavailable, we ask you to try again instead of guessing.
03Is the result a diagnosis or prescription?+
No. AFYA VERIFY provides general health education; it does not diagnose an individual, prescribe medicine or handle emergencies.
04How are verdicts and sources provided?+
The instant assessment appears first. The AFYA VERIFY team may review and correct it and add trustworthy sources before publishing a final fact-check.
05How long do articles stay on the website?+
A published article remains on the website without an expiry date until the team edits or archives it. Articles and images are stored in a persistent database.
06Why might the website say there are no articles?+
Only articles with Published status are shown. This version includes a starter article; other articles appear as soon as the team completes and publishes them.
07How are my information and usage statistics stored?+
Do not submit a patient’s name or private details. We store submitted questions and aggregate usage statistics using a browser identifier; analytics do not store IP addresses or user agents.
08How can I find a doctor or hospital?+
Use the MeGMeT section below a result or article for help connecting with a doctor or hospital. MeGMeT is a separate service; for an emergency, go to the nearest facility immediately.
