Amazon Adds AI Assistant to One Medical App

The AI-powered health assistant by Amazon provides 24/7 health guidance and enables users to connect with their provider, book appointments, review lab results, and manage medications.

Amazon has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant for its One Medical app. The agentic AI tool is designed to help with things like answering health questions, scheduling appointments and managing medications.

“The US health care experience is fragmented, with each provider seeing only parts of your health puzzle,” said Neil Lindsay, SVP of Amazon Health Services. 

“Health AI in the One Medical app brings together all the pieces of your personal health information to give you a more complete picture—helping you understand your health, and supporting you in getting the care you need to get and stay well.”

Developed with One Medical’s clinical leadership, the Health AI assistant offers 24/7 personalised health guidance grounded in the patient’s unique medical history, the announcement said. 

When clinical expertise is required, the assistant connects patients to their care team via messaging or by reserving a same-day or next-day appointment.

Unlike generic health information tools, Health AI understands medical context without requiring users to manually upload personal information from multiple health care providers and services. It delivers tailored guidance based on a user’s past health concerns, test results, vaccinations, and current medications.

Health AI in the One Medical app can:

  • Answer general and complex health questions by interpreting lab results, considering a user’s unique health history, and explaining what the information means for them.
  • Provide 24/7 guidance on symptoms, conditions, potential treatments, and wellness questions.
  • Recommend the appropriate care option based on a user’s specific situation, including virtual visits, in-person appointments, or urgent care.
  • Streamline ongoing care tasks, such as booking appointments with a One Medical provider or renewing medications, which can be filled through Amazon Pharmacy.

The launch comes as AI continues to become embedded in the health field. As covered here last year, research indicates that nearly half of healthcare and life-sciences organisations have generative AI in production use, in many instances for documentation, administrative work and early-stage clinical summaries.

Meanwhile, more than half of doctors surveyed by the American Medical Association said that artificial intelligence tools could meaningfully bolster core clinical functions.
