Provide a one-line summary of your solution.

Virtual 7x24 Health & Wellness Coach

What specific problem are you solving?

People act upon illness situations sometimes going to the doctor, but after this act, people are alone, hopefully, they get a prescription, and sometimes indications on how to take the meds, or perform a treatment. Adherence is the way the medicine measures how people follow those indications and do the treatment.

There is bad news: People don't have adherence to treatments, even if they are ill, and get the meds. The scale of this social disease is huge, as soon as people miss the treatment, the sickness normally grows and takes by surprise the rest of their wellness, ending badly most of the time.

This situation is worse for people with disabilities, elderly people having memory issues, disaster situations, chronic diseases have the worst outcome on public health, and individual sickness and morbidity.

The result is a high number of persons suffering from preventable situations, public health is compromised, and the cost is paid whether by the people, suffering or passing by or the health insurance exhausting their budgets. Either way is not good at all.

What is your solution?

Nursy, is a virtual assistant driven by AI, she is online 7x24 and is able to hear and talk to people, using any technology whether texting by SMS, or any chat IRC application just as Telegram, Whatsapp, WeChat, etc.

Nursy is able to hear people's problems and detect hazardous situations by means of AI-driven (medically trained) triaged questionnaires, which are performed in real-time. Then as soon as possible (ASAP) Nursy can contact a medical team on the other side, in a day-night shift at any health prevention center, and make a resume of the situation of the patient, taking note of the indications, and telling them to the involved patient.

Nursy is not only able to react, but she can act proactively, by checking by med-protocol on a timely basis for example if the doctor prescribed antibiotics, and some aspirin, for the fever. Nuesy gets the indications from the doctor, (on his terminal or mobile phone) and performs the tasks just like a loving mom or dad, giving the correct indication in time, and asking for fulfillment, just like: "Hey, did you take the pills at noon?" and if the patient does not answer, she will insist until a deadline, and in case of a serious sickness, she can report back to the treatment medic team and take the necessary actions.

Nursy can save even lives, when the situation is bad, and solve urgent calls because she is able to undertake a "normal" human alike conversation using her internal brains" (an advanced health-targetted AI system), which is tuned to detect severity and specific situations.

Nursy is rather useful for normal people going to a doctor, but she is especially useful for endangered patients, as well as for chronic diseases, people with memory problems just as elderly people, and disaster situations where there is no electricity nowadays cellphones shown us can survive most situations and be useful for saving lives.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?

The target population ranges from normal, who are going to a doctor sometimes, but she is especially useful for endangered patients and population, a poor cultural level where people does not realize the danger of not fulfilling a treatment or not being able to detect a dangerous situation of their health status.

Nursy is specially intended for chronic diseases, as well as people with memory problems just as elderly people.

Nursy can be a dramatic help for populations in disaster situations where there is no electricity or water, food, or authorities, or medical aid, but nowadays cellphones showed us they can survive most situations and be useful for saving lives, being there and connecting people with medical aids, the problem we solve is concurrency under disaster situations, Nursy can multiplex herself into as many users as needed by scaling dynamically, providing help to thousands of persona ta the same time, in real-time.

Nursy helps also the medical system, bettering treatment efficiency, lowering costs by avoiding exacerbations by prevention and reminding people to perform their med duties in time, every day, at every needed moment, just as Mom or Dad did with us when we were kids.

How are you and your team well-positioned to deliver this solution?

We were working on this solution for over 10 years, developed an AI conversational system, Nursy is NOT just a chatbot, her AI system is able to be empathetic, understand free text, make comments, and tell jokes, and precisely detect when the situation is bad (healthily speaking)

She is able to withstand spelling errors, and understand almost all of the medical vocabulary as well as slang, and other ill-behaved situations.

We are both engineers, José Berbeci has outstanding capabilities to drive software integration with processes and Andres Hohendahl is an R&D expert, on Artificial Intelligence, professor & researcher in Natural Language Processing (NLP), 40 years of experience in programming, and he created a modern language called Dialog Description Language who run inside an NLP framework to accomplish almost all the needed tasks to be considered as a Virtual Human.
