How Artificial Intelligence Can Save You a Trip to the Emergency Room

Every year billions of people visit sites like WebMD or NIH to find health information. However, a company called HealthTap wants to help you take your at home health care to the next level. HealthTap uses Artificial Intelligence and computer technology to give personalized recommendations on how to treat your symptoms, illnesses, and even tells you when it's time to see a doctor in person. HealthTap CEO Ron Gutman discussed how his company incorporated Artificial Intelligence into its mission to improve the standard of healthcare. "We created in the background this very valuable knowledge base and training set to help us now understand how to answer peoples' questions and direct them to the right level of care. So basically we're using Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to take this data and direct people to the right care, at the right time, at the right cost," he said.
