Meet Molly, Ginger and Replika – some of your new chatbot friends aiming to make your life better.

The shortlisting is based on a combination of multiple publicly available signals and detailed analysis of the company by our internal sector specialist teams.

Another promising AI application comes from Sensely, a virtual nurse assistant that’s available through an app.

We all want to get healthier. However, most of us would prefer if it didn’t have to involve things like vigorous exercise, sugar-free diets, less beer, and more medical exams.

Patients can now speak to chatbot Sensely which can recognize their language and use speech recognition and artificial intelligence to cross-check symptoms against a large database to provide recommendations on managing care at home versus heading to the hospital.

In this interview, we speak with Adam Odessky, co-founder and CEO of Sensely, to understand how his company is using AI to transform healthcare…

The new capability incorporates conversational content spoken by lifelike avatar characters to bring a sense of immediacy to the life insurance application process.

Mayo has also collaborated with startup Sensely to build out a virtual nurse platform, called Molly, that offers patients self-service symptom triage.

But in healthcare, knowledge is power, and new technologies are giving patients the knowledge they need to avoid a frantic trip to the ER.

Similarly, Baidu’s medical chatbot, Melody, and Sensely’s Molly use deep learning and NLU to interactively assess patient conditions and then connect them to the appropriate resource if desired.
