The World Health Organization (WHO) has unveiled the Smart AI Resource Assistant for Health, or S.A.R.A.H., a digital health promoter prototype that uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) with enhanced empathetic response capabilities. S.A.R.A.H. operates 24/7 in eight languages across various devices, offering guidance on diverse health topics like healthy habits and mental wellness. S.A.R.A.H. assists users in understanding risk factors for prevalent causes of mortality such as cancer, heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes. It provides insights on lifestyle improvements like tobacco cessation, physical activity, and stress management. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an iteration of S.A.R.A.H. known as Florence played a crucial role in disseminating vital public health messages. Its shift to generative AI ensures real-time, personalized interactions, reflecting human-like conversations and empathetic responses, facilitated by Soul Machines Biological AI. According to a WHO press release, this resource represents the importance of digital technologies for health and encourages further research to harness AI’s potential for equitable health information access.
