Artificial Intelligence: France launches AI assistant to fight fake news about health

The new assistant is aimed at individual users, providing "authentic and personalized" health content, helping people monitor their health, stay up to date on vaccinations, screenings and making disease prevention recommendations.

Doctolib - France's leading digital health platform plans to launch a medical assistant using Artificial Intelligence (AI), helping users access accurate health information and combat fake news spreading on social networks.

According to a VNA reporter in Paris, Mr. Stanislas Niox-Chateau, co-founder and CEO of Doctolib, declared: "We want to bring AI to the hands of patients," affirming that this project is "a French initiative, sovereign and has a serious scientific basis," built with the cooperation of domestic doctors and researchers.

Mr Niox-Chateau stressed that health misinformation is a global epidemic as more and more people self-medicate following sources from TikTok or Instagram.

“Our goal is to take back the initiative in providing reliable health information,” he said.

With more than 50 million users in France, Doctolib has been an early adopter of AI in clinics, through “digital assistants” that help doctors handle administrative tasks, create invoices, or transmit data to the Health Insurance Agency. Since its launch, around 5 million medical visits have been supported by AI.

The new assistant is aimed at individual users, providing "authentic and personalized" health content, helping people monitor their health, stay up to date on vaccinations, screenings and making disease prevention recommendations.

This application will start rolling out in the coming weeks.

Doctolib emphasizes that this AI application does not make diagnoses or prescribe, but only provides information and guidance based on official French medical data sources.

All services will comply with European Union (EU) data security standards and the official care process of the French health system./.
