The\u00a0Check Symptoms & Get Care<\/a> platform launched by the health system uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) which translates intricate medical data into content that can be easily understood by patients. The web-based questionnaire can enable patients to identify their medical illnesses and then provide a list of customized virtual or in-person care options. \u00a0\u00a0The new tool is designed to identify and match 300 primary symptoms. The suite of digital tools also has the Mount Sinai Virtual Assistant, the AI-enabled chatbot that can help patients with self-scheduling and care navigation.<\/p>\n The health system is taking proactive steps to become a healthcare organization that brings forward a seamless patient experience via digital solutions. For example, the health system has even improved the in-room patient experience by providing entertainment options, digital meal ordering, and the functionality to video chat with friends.
