In the world that we live in today, we are constantly surrounded by artificial intelligence (AI) more than we know. AI technology has been widely adopted in many aspects of our lives, from using it for entertainment to using it for security purposes. It has been a game-changer for many industries, and healthcare is no exception! By providing tools that can rapidly analyse large amounts of data, AI can help to improve everything from diagnosis and treatment plans to population health management.
Hence, it can be said that AI has played a major role in propelling the current trend of mobile healthcare initiatives. Thanks to AI-enabled tools, digital healthcare platforms are now able to offer a wide range of services that were previously unavailable or impractical. As well as being able to provide patients with more personalized care, app-based appointments, remote patient monitoring, and many more, AI is helping to make healthcare more convenient and accessible than ever before.
With the growing number of mobile healthcare applications that can provide insights into our health and wellbeing, here are 11 AI-enabled mobile healthcare applications that you can consider using to monitor your health:
General Health App
1. ADA Just like how a personalised healthcare companion would be, ADA is able to provide information regarding your symptoms, guide on what to do next, as well as an information database about the different conditions and treatments. Think of it as a pocketable mobile version of Baymax! Their symptom checker and questions are run by their AI technology, which assesses the symptoms you keyed in and delivers a personalised health report. To make it patient-friendly, ADA has a separate symptom checker profile feature that allows you to enter and monitor the symptoms of your loved ones too. As you know, health information may sometimes get a little difficult or too much to understand, hence ADA doctors’ condition library feature is able to draw comprehensive and understandable information out for patients.
