Editor's Notes

The AI Cold, Flu and Covid AI Condition Checker service is live at www.walmart.com/medicinecabinet  and is supported by a digital marketing campaign.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines self-care as: "The ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a health-care provider. Self-care is the biggest opportunity to improve healthcare with existing public and private systems struggling to deliver even basic services to the community."

Statistics Editor's notes

• According to Walmart consumer insight data,1 in 4 families worry about the cost of a doctor visit and 1 in 3 don't seek care because of cost and complexity
• On average, 8% of the U.S. population gets sick from flu each season, with a range of between 3% and 11%, depending on the season
• Every $1 spent on over the counter (OTC) products saves $7 in the US Healthcare System
