Link: This smart ring is rolling out an AI chatbot trained on medical journals

AI is the central theme at CES 2025, focusing heavily on health technology. Movano has introduced EvieAI, a chatbot trained exclusively on peer-reviewed medical journals to provide reliable health advice.

Unlike typical AI that sources from broad and often inaccurate public data, EvieAI accesses over 100,000 medical entries vetted by professionals. This restriction ensures it offers accurate and safe information, avoiding general and potentially misleading data.

EvieAI only utilizes data from its post-training phase, ensuring each piece of advice is reflective of the most current medical standards. The AI cross-references information with top institutions like Mayo Clinic and Harvard to maintain accuracy.

Movano promises a 99% accuracy rate for EvieAI, though this claim remains unverified outside of the company's controlled tests. The AI is designed to admit ignorance when it lacks sufficient information, countering the common issue of AI "hallucinations."

Movano has made privacy a priority, using industry-standard encryption and ensuring that individual user data isn't stored or used for advertising. They recently received FDA clearance for their medically-oriented EvieMED ring.

EvieAI is scheduled for a beta release in the Evie app on January 8th, available at no additional cost to existing users. This rollout aims to enhance how consumers prepare for medical consultations, avoiding misinformation pitfalls like those often found on platforms such as WebMD. #
