She’s the creation of The World Health Organization. Her name stands for ‘Smart AI Resource Assistant for Health.’

Meet S.A.R.A.H. HERE.

After enabling my camera and microphone (better not be just some phishing scheme), we spent considerable time talking about my health.

Things like how protein, and protein powder supplements, affect weight loss.

Or how insurance covers mental health.

And more. Even Spock would say, “fascinating!”

As you explore this, keep in mind “Dr. Google” has been known to mine its ‘intelligence’ from sources like The Onion, which legend has it, recommended eating several small pebbles daily for their high mineral content!

Still, as S.A.R.A.H ages, she’s only going to get smarter. (Wouldn’t an avatar that looked like Marcus Welby be better? But, why spoil a good acronym!)

Smart enough - cynics might speculate - that it’s just a matter of time before our favorite Health System bean counters employ similar technology, allowing them to retire those pesky (and expensive) physicians. 

Ya know, the ones who sometimes let the Hippocratic Oath guide their practices.

BTW, I ended my session by asking S.A.R.A.H. if we could have dinner. She changed the subject.

I’ll be darned. Same as usual.
