Can an AI chatbot help women recognize heart disease?
HeartBot, created by a team of UC researchers, regularly answers questions from women seeking information on heart disease.
AI Summary
HeartBot, an AI chatbot developed by a University of California research team and led by nurse scientist Yoshimi Fukuoka, Ph.D., RN, FAAN, engages women who inquire about heart disease. The study aims to determine whether having the chatbot on participants’ phones improves their awareness of cardiovascular risk factors and their ability to recognize heart‑attack symptoms, prompting timely medical care. Conversations are personalized; HeartBot can remember prior interactions and reference earlier mentions, such as a user’s family member who suffered a heart attack.
