Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare, bringing transformative solutions that improve patient care, reduce clinician burnout, and enhance operational efficiency. From empowering gig workers with faster access to healthcare to enabling doctors to focus more on patient care through AI-powered transcription tools, these innovations are reshaping the way healthcare is delivered. As AI continues to evolve, its potential to bridge critical gaps in healthcare—especially for underserved populations—promises a more efficient, inclusive, and patient-centric future. Let’s explore how AI is driving these remarkable changes.
Akido Labs has introduced ScopeAI, an AI-enabled medical diagnosis and treatment tool, to assist ride-share drivers in New York. Partnering with the Independent Drivers Guild and Workers Benefit Fund, Akido stations ScopeAI-equipped physicians in various locations to provide rapid healthcare access to drivers who often forgo medical visits due to unpaid time off. ScopeAI suggests medical diagnoses and treatments based on patients’ symptoms and medical histories, with human doctors providing final approval. This initiative aims to improve access to care and support gig workers’ health. [WSJ]
Amazon is testing new AI-powered assistants aimed at enhancing the shopping and healthcare experience. One development, Interests AI, helps customers receive personalized shopping results based on specific prompts. Additionally, Amazon is trialing a health AI assistant on its site, providing reliable health information validated by medical experts.
