Los Angeles-based Cedars-Sinai has launched a 24/7 virtual care app that uses artificial intelligence to evaluate patients, per Becker’s.
Cedars-Sinai Connect offers virtual urgent care around the clock and same-day primary care appointments. The health system developed the platform as a joint venture with digital health company K Health, which uses AI for clinical intake and data entry to speed up appointments.
When patients log into Cedars-Sinai Connect, an AI chatbot collects health details and symptoms and then generates a summary for the virtual clinicians. The app, which is integrated with Cedars-Sinai’s EHR, is available for California patients and accepts any insurance that the health system takes.
