1. What is the primary benefit of using AI to help design a daily symptom log?

   1. AI replaces the need to visit a doctor entirely
   2. AI makes the symptom log take exactly one hour each day
   3. AI automatically prescribes medication based on symptoms
   4. AI can find patterns across 30 days that a 15-minute doctor appointment would miss

2. Why does the lesson suggest limiting a daily symptom log to 5 questions?

   1. Five is the maximum number of symptoms anyone can have
   2. AI software can only process exactly 5 questions at a time
   3. Doctors refuse to read logs with more than 5 questions
   4. A shorter log takes only 30 seconds and is easier to maintain consistently

3. After someone has tracked their symptoms for 30 days, what should they ask AI to do next?

   1. Analyze the data to find patterns and trends
   2. Automatically diagnose a specific disease
   3. Delete all the collected data
   4. Share the raw data on social media

4. What does the lesson mean by 'overtracking is a real thing'?

   1. Overtracking causes the symptoms themselves to worsen
   2. Tracking too many symptoms can become overwhelming and unsustainable
   3. More tracking always leads to better health outcomes
   4. You should track symptoms every hour of the day

5. What format should the AI create from the 30-day symptom data to share with a doctor?

   1. A video presentation explaining the symptoms
   2. A 50-page detailed report of every single day
   3. A one-page handout summarizing the key findings
   4. An audio recording of the patient describing their month

6. Why are patterns discovered over 30 days more valuable than a single doctor visit?

   1. Doctors are not trained to look at pattern data
   2. A 15-minute appointment cannot capture enough data to see trends over time
   3. AI is more accurate than any doctor
   4. Thirty days is the minimum time insurance requires

7. Which of these is an example of a 'trigger pattern' that AI might help identify?

   1. Noticing that headaches always happen after eating certain foods
   2. Going to the doctor for a regular checkup
   3. Feeling sad once during the month
   4. Forgetting to take medication one time

8. What type of chronic conditions does the lesson specifically mention as candidates for symptom tracking?

   1. Migraines, IBS, and anxiety
   2. Cancer, heart disease, and diabetes
   3. Broken bones, infections, and allergies
   4. The common cold, flu, and strep throat

9. What is a symptom log?

   1. A form signed by a doctor confirming a diagnosis
   2. A daily record of health indicators like pain level, sleep, and food intake
   3. A chart showing hospital visit history
   4. A document listing all prescribed medications

10. What should someone do BEFORE starting a 30-day tracking period?

    1. Schedule daily doctor appointments for the entire month
    2. Stop taking all medications to get accurate results
    3. Buy expensive medical monitoring equipment
    4. Ask AI to design a 5-question daily log they can complete in 30 seconds

11. Why might a doctor miss patterns that daily symptom tracking would reveal?

    1. Doctors are not allowed to look at patient-provided data
    2. AI is always more intelligent than doctors
    3. Doctor appointments are too brief to collect enough data over time
    4. Doctors do not believe in symptom tracking

12. In the lesson's 'Try it' activity, how long should someone track before asking AI about early patterns?

    1. 7 days
    2. 30 days
    3. One full year
    4. Only when symptoms are severe

13. What does the lesson mean when it says 'Real builders ship'?

    1. Actually using the skill is more important than just learning about it
    2. Shipping refers to sending data to doctors
    3. Building something costs a lot of money
    4. Only professional developers can complete this project

14. How does AI help make symptom tracking practical for daily use?

    1. By helping design a log that takes only 30 seconds to complete
    2. By storing all medical records in one place
    3. By replacing the need for any user effort
    4. By automatically calling the doctor whenever symptoms appear

15. What makes the 30-day timeframe significant for symptom analysis?

    1. It provides enough data points to see meaningful patterns emerge
    2. Insurance companies require exactly 30 days of data
    3. Most symptoms naturally resolve after 30 days
    4. AI cannot analyze data from longer periods
