The World Health Organization has introduced SARAH, an AI health chatbot designed to provide basic health information and support in eight languages, aiming to educate people and fill staffing gaps amid a global health-care worker shortage. However, SARAH has been found to provide incorrect answers to many medical questions, despite its ability to respond to users' facial expressions.
Google has announced plans to introduce an AI-powered health chatbot for Fitbit users, set to launch later this year as part of the Fitbit Labs program. The chatbot will use advanced AI to analyze health data from Fitbit wearables and provide personalized insights in natural language, potentially serving as a personalized health coach. Additionally, Google is developing a Personal Health Large Language Model (LLM) to offer comprehensive insights and personalized recommendations, aiming to become an on-demand health coach. This initiative is part of Google's broader push to integrate AI tools into healthcare, with plans for a similar LLM called AMIE to assist medical professionals.
