MedAI is a digital healthcare platform that aims to level up primary care access for ethnic minority patients. It uses artificial intelligence to deliver personalised healthcare services to patients in their preferred language.
It enables people with a language barrier to access primary care services remotely using their smartphone, so saving them the time of travelling to see a doctor. By drawing on a vast clinical database that includes disease prevalence of different ethnic groups, it can improve diagnosis and accelerate treatment while reducing pressure on health services.
