But our APIs are sophisticated to work with wearables and health apps.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfaf <strong>WellAI works with the EMR companies<\/strong> on intelligence-based medicine and initial triage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfaf <strong>WellAI\u2019s triage is using voice-recognition software<\/strong>, which is not WellAI\u2019s native software but it\u2019s being improved daily by a team of physicians and researchers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Ethics in AI<\/strong> (a Q&amp;A question on biases from Dr. Rafie\u2019s talk) is very near and dear to our hearts. WellAI\u2019s researchers have working on an opinion \/ survey paper on best practices in healthcare AI making our research at WellAI a front-and-center example. One way to address a gender \/ race bias problem in AI is to use the \u201cde-biasing\u201d algorithms as advocated by IBM and Microsoft. Another way is to be selective about and attentive to your data. For example, the NIH\u2019s MEDLINE \/ PubMed dataset does not suffer from the abovementioned biases to the extent a hospital \/ EMR dataset does. While certainly not completely bias-free, medical studies are to some extent already \u201ccleaned up\u201d as they are vetted by editors and reviewers, as well as by clinicians and statisticians who conduct the study.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>reduction of healthcare inequities<\/strong> is at the heart of WellAI.\u00a0 WellAI was created with <strong>a vision to eliminate the information asymmetry<\/strong> &#8211; in particular, WellAI offers access to scientific second-opinion tools to the underprivileged, uninsured, people of low income and those who would like to be self-triaged before going to the doctor\u2019s office. WellAI\u2019s applications are easily deployed across many different populations &#8211; all that is needed is a smartphone or browser. The application puts sophisticated diagnostic validation in the hands of even the most remote patients and enables them to have one-click access to providers as and when needed. It can integrate with and enhance remote-patient monitoring (RPM) solutions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for a WellAI demo: <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/well-ai-health\/30min\">https:\/\/calendly.com\/well-ai-health\/30min<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WellAI Team<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wellai.health\/\">wellai.health<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ramin Rafie, M.D. did a brilliant overview of the state of AI in medicine at a recent international conference, including advances and challenges<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":685,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":[],"categories":[195,235],"tags":[143,198,214,253,200,267,264,265,266,6,137],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Medical-practices-that-dont-adopt-AI-will-be-left-behind-e1653997017147.jpg?fit=698%2C400&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=684"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":686,"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684\/revisions\/686"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wellai.health\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
