How an AI Health Assistant Transforms Personalized Care: A Day in the Life with Amit’s AI Health Agent

I am sharing below one of the scenarios illustrating how AI Agents can transform personalized care

Amit: The phone lights up with a notification from an?AI Health Agent, Smitha.

Smitha AI Health Agent: “Good morning, Amit!” I noticed the pollen count in the weather is very high today?since you have a?history of allergies. I see from my memory that you have a history of allergies. Do you want me to remind you of your medicines? ??

Amit: Thanks, yes, that would be a great help as I have been feeling slight discomfort, fatigue and mild illness

Smitha AI Health Agent: Oh! I am sorry to hear that; please tell me how you feel.

Amit: ?Well. I am tired, have a?severe headache and slight throat pain

Smitha AI Health Agent: ?I understand. These symptoms are not unfamiliar based on your history of seasonal allergies and the current pollen count. Do you want me to suggest a plan of action?

Amit: Yes, Please

Smitha AI Health Agent: ?Okay. I will do the?following for you

1.?????? Set up reminders for your allergy medication

2.?????? Track your symptoms to see if they change based on your inputs

3.?????? Share some tips and relief methods for managing allergies

Amit: Yes, to all three, please!

After 3 hours …

Smitha AI Health Agent: Alert on the?mobile phone? How are you feeling, Amit, now? I hope you have taken enough water to avoid dehydration.

Amit: I am feeling worse now, caught up with a?severe fever too

Smitha AI Health Agent: Oh! The fever is something that worries me; this is a new symptom that was not there as per your past allergy history. I think it is a?good idea to consult Dr Venkatesh. I see a?time slot available tomorrow morning at 10 AM or 11:30 AM. Would you like to schedule this visit?

Amit:? Yes. 11:30 AM works for me

Smitha AI Health Agent: An appointment was scheduled with Dr Venkatesh for tomorrow at 11:30 AM. I have also added this appointment to your calendar. I will send a reminder tomorrow morning, 2 hours before the scheduled appointment, and I will share all your symptom reports as per our conversation below and?share them?with Dr Venkatesh through the?mail.

-??????????? Initial symptoms: fatigue, headache, scratchy throat

-??????????? Developed later: High fever

-??????????? Duration: Started 24 hours back

-??????????? Note: Different from usual allergy patterns

Next Day Afternoon 12:00 noon

Amit: Just finished at Dr. Venkatesh's office. He prescribed some medication, and I am attaching the scanned copy of the same here.

Smitha AI Health Agent: Okay, I am glad that you got the required medical advice. As per the scanned prescription, I am doing the following:

1. Set up reminders for your new medication.

2. Schedule a follow-up check-in.

3. Keep tracking your symptoms to monitor your recovery based on our conversation

Amit: Yes, that would be great. The medicine needs to be taken twice daily.

Smitha AI Health Agent: Perfect! I've set up:

- Medication reminders for 9 AM and 9 PM

- Daily symptom check-ins and update me at 9:30 PM

I'll also monitor the pollen count and weather to help you plan your outdoor activities while recovering. Remember, I'm here 24/7 if you need anything!

What is Smitha, the AI Health Agent, doing here? She is acting as an advisor and companion, performing many tasks automatically, like scheduling meetings, sending reminders, and advising on what to do and what not to do. Don’t you think AI agents are set to transform the healthcare ecosystem?
