These digital avatars use day-to-day conversations to build a relationship with their owner, coach them accordingly, and reduce their loneliness. Victor explains how this service is offered by health plans through a Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly as it can target and predict high costs for these complex patients and help prevent them with its coaching. He discusses the importance of patients’ experiences and how AI can generate intelligent, empathetic conversations.
