Amazon is testing a generative AI-powered health assistant, dubbed Health AI, on its website and mobile app, CNBC reported March 25.

The chatbot is designed to answer health and wellness questions, suggest common care options for various medical needs, and recommend products. Some responses are marked with a “clinically verified” badge, indicating that the information has been reviewed by U.S.-based licensed clinicians, according to Amazon.

In addition to providing health guidance, Health AI directs users to Amazon’s online pharmacy and clinical services from One Medical, the primary care provider Amazon acquired for $3.9 billion in 2022.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
