New AI 'cancer chatbot' provides patients and families with 24/7 support: 'Empathetic approach'

Texas residents share how familiar they are with artificial intelligence on a scale from one to 10 and detailed how much they use it each day. Cancer patients looking for quick answers or support between their appointments can now turn to "Dave," an artificial intelligence chatbot trained to discuss all things related to oncology. Launched earlier this month by Belong.Life, a New York-based health technology company, Dave is described as the world's first conversational AI oncology mentor for cancer patients. "Dave has aided patients in understanding their situations and equipping them with valuable information to engage in informed discussions with their physicians," said Irad Deutsch, co-founder and CTO of Belong, in an interview with Fox News Digital. Some of the most common questions include potential treatments for diagnoses and what to expect in terms of side effects, he said.
