Many physicians see the need for better support and are turning to AI to help fill the gap
Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming a go-to source for health answers, especially when patients struggle to get enough time with doctors during short visits.
Many physicians see the need for better support and are turning to AI to help fill the gap. At Cedars-Sinai, researchers are testing an immersive VR tool called MenoZen that uses evidence-based education to help women manage menopausal symptoms.
Participants use Apple Vision Pro headsets to interact with a robot-like therapist, even holding conversations in calming virtual settings like snowcapped mountains.
Other tools are emerging, too. A new app called Flourish offers educational content and AI-assisted consultations for about $42.
The AI suggests treatment plans, but real doctors must approve them, making it a supportive, not replacement, tool.
