MediKarma's Jill AI offering is well-positioned to support FHN and CHS's efforts to enable value-based care, empowering patients to take a proactive approach to managing their health. As a generative-AI powered personalized health assistant, Jill AI was designed to support users through a broad spectrum of health services and questions, such as instantly retrieving information from health records and connected devices, answering routine health questions, providing personalized recommendations, conducting symptom-based triage, and automating health routines such as appointment booking with doctors, and much more. A key feature reminds patients to keep up with all their age and sex-specific preventive health recommendations including vaccinations, physical exams, eye exams, diagnostic tests like colonoscopies and mammograms, as well as self- exams done at home. Jill AI's capabilities are delivered through voice interaction in natural language, making it a true, first-of-its-kind, human-like, personalized health assistant

"MediKarma's Jill AI was developed with insights from physicians, nurse practitioners and other healthcare professionals, and is an evolution of next-generation preventive care," said Dr. Antonio Wong, president of Broward County Medical Association. "By augmenting the work of primary care physicians, Jill AI acts as a health coach, answering routine health related questions and seamlessly guiding patients through their prescribed treatment."
