Hot Off the Press

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.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is slowly but surely becoming a part of the health-care industry and is bringing forth some revolutionary changes in the medical field

Molly is a virtual nurse from award winning startup Sensely that is able to recognize speech, translate spoken words into text and seamlessly integrates member data

The conventional wisdom that the best care is delivered in-person by experienced caregivers may soon be overturned….But new uses of virtual health and digital technologies may help the industry manage these challenges.
