Amazon's newest AI doesn't just chat - it knows your health history
"The next time you've got an itchy throat and a stuffy nose, Amazon wants you to describe your symptoms to an AI chatbot deputized to do medicine. On Wednesday, Amazon announced the launch of the new feature, inviting users who subscribe to its healthcare service to interact with an AI assistant for personalized medical advice. The chatbot is available now in the One Medical app, which patients can use to schedule appointments, message their primary care provider and access their medical records."
""The U.S. health care experience is fragmented, with each provider seeing only parts of your health puzzle," Amazon Health Services Senior Vice President Neil Lindsay said in the announcement. "Health AI in the One Medical app brings together all the pieces of your personal health information to give you a more complete picture-helping you understand your health, and supporting you in getting the care you need to get and stay well.""
"The One Medical AI assistant is powered by Amazon's Bedrock AI models and follows similar health-focused AI chatbots from major AI companies. Earlier this month, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health, which similarly synthesizes its users' medical history to provide tailored advice. Days later, Anthropic introduced Claude for Healthcare, an AI chatbot that can analyze a user's health data to help them make sense of test results and prep questions for a doctor's appointment."
Amazon launched a Health AI assistant inside the One Medical app that invites subscribed patients to interact with an AI for personalized medical advice. The assistant uses lab results, medical history, medication data, and other records to generate personalized insights, explain test results, offer advice about symptoms and treatments, and help book appointments or renew medications. The assistant runs on Amazon's Bedrock AI models and enters a space alongside other health-focused chatbots like ChatGPT Health and Claude for Healthcare. Amazon has been investing in healthcare and entered the space in 2020.
