# Aging or Dying

> Aging or Dying is a free, browser-based educational tool for U.S. adults 18+: describe a new symptom in five questions and get emergency red-flag guidance, persistence warnings, and age-based preventive screening links sourced from public-health agencies. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace a clinician. No account; symptom text stays in the browser.
