Palo Alto, Calif.-based HealthTap's Doctor AI, a personal artificial intelligence-powered "physician," now has its own voice through Amazon's Alexa.
HealthTap unveiled Doctor AI in January as a service patients could access through HealthTap's mobile apps and website.
With the help of Alexa, Doctor AI can now hold conversations with patients, ask them questions and redirect them to an appropriate physician.
"The connection between Doctor AI and Alexa was digital love at first sight," said HealthTap Founder and CEO Ron Gutman. "With this revolutionary release of Doctor AI and Alexa, our top engineers, designers and data scientists are making a huge leap forward in bringing better care at a lower cost to billions of people worldwide."
