Amazon Joins the AI Health Assistant Movement
Amazon's Health AI uses large language models to provide personalized health advice, explain lab results, and manage medications for One Medical members.
- Amazon launched Health AI inside the One Medical app on Wednesday after testing it with a subset of One Medical members last Spring; One Medical was acquired by Amazon for $3.9 billion in 2023.
- As Amazon expanded its pharmacy and health-monitoring services, it moved to embed AI in primary care, joining OpenAI and Anthropic in launching healthcare AI features earlier this month.
- Using Amazon Bedrock LLMs, Health AI answers questions, explains lab results, manages medications, includes the `analyze images` capability, and uses clinical escalation protocols to involve One Medical clinicians.
- Offering 24/7 personalized guidance, Health AI is available inside the One Medical app to members and Amazon said it does not require document uploads or add conversations to medical records.
- Amid privacy concerns, Amazon said Health AI `complements, not replaces` clinicians and `understands your medical context without requiring you to manually upload your personal information`, while stressing HIPAA safeguards and that it is not for diagnosis or treatment.
