Pigeon’s question of the day: If you had an AI assistant, what would you name it? If you need some inspiration, health insurance company Alan has named theirs Mo. Short and sweet, Pigeon approves. However, the announcement was light on details about Mo. What we do know is that customers can ask Mo health-related questions, receive a response, and have those answers checked by a doctor within 15 minutes. Doccla’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Sukrti Nagpal, brought her clinician’s perspective to the podcast. She highlighted the need for more transparency about the types of questions patients can ask Mo, the datasets the AI has been trained on, and what processes occur during those 15 minutes to ensure patient safety.

The British public now have a forum to share their views on how to improve the NHS and you can only imagine some of the suggestions the people came up with. The purpose of this online platform is to help shape the government's 10 year health plan and while discussing the pros and cons of this initiative, SomX’s Amy Thomas raises an important question: how accurately does this platform capture the full spectrum of public opinion? Both Pigeon and Amy want to know what steps are being taken to include the voices of those who may not have access to the platform, to ensure the outcomes reflect the views of the entire public as much as possible ⬇️ A special Pigeon shoutout to this week's sponsor, Whereby, who are optimising patient and practitioner experiences by enabling seamless virtual consultations. #digitalhealth #healthtech #healthtechpigeon #healthtechjobs
