Google and NHG Health Team Up on AI-Powered Health Coach
Published
Google has announced a partnership with NHG Health, one of Singapore's public healthcare groups, to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) health coach. The tool is designed to help people manage their health by giving them personalised advice and reminders in their daily lives.
The AI health coach will be built using Google's AI technology. It is expected to support patients who need to take care of long-term conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Users may be able to receive tips on diet, exercise and taking medication on time. The two organisations have not yet said when the service will be available to the public.
NHG Health said the project is part of wider efforts to make healthcare more accessible and to reduce the pressure on clinics and hospitals. Healthcare providers in Singapore have been looking for new ways to help patients stay healthy at home, especially as the population ages and more people live with chronic illnesses.
The partnership still needs to meet strict data protection and medical safety rules before it can be launched. Officials have said that patient privacy will be a priority, and that the AI tool will support, rather than replace, doctors and nurses. More details about the project are expected in the coming months.
