Helen Chen and Plinio Morita using AI to bring together scattered health data

Monday, October 9, 2017

Helen Chen and Plinio Morita are developing a platform that uses artificial intelligence to bring together health data from social media messages, lab reports, and doctor's clinical notes. 

“Artificial intelligence allows you to make the best use of the large amount of scattered health data available to get its true value. This precision medicine could make it possible to give a new drug only to people for whom it’s effective and spare the others that it won’t help,” says Chen.

Morita adds, “We want to keep patients in Mongolia and in Canada out of hospital by using technology to connect more directly with the user. We’re focused on technology solutions for community and home-based care to help people of all ages live healthier, more independent lives.”
