About Babylon Health
According to the World Health Organisation, half the world lacks access to essential health services. That’s why at Babylon, they combine technology and medical expertise to bring doctors and people closer together. Babylon give people round-the-clock access to affordable – often free – holistic healthcare services, like digital health tools and video doctor appointments.
Babylon work with governments, health providers and insurers across the globe, and support healthcare facilities from small local practices to hospitals. Babylon want to inspire change, all in the name of good health.
Babylon have designed their AI to empower people with knowledge about their health and help relieve pressure on clinicians. It mimics the way a doctor operates, performing some of the cognitive tasks they carry out. Things like interpreting, reasoning, decision-making and learning.
Babylon AI revolves around three main things: the knowledge graph, the comprehensive health record and the probabilistic graphical model. This means that Babylon can develop AI tools to put patients in control of their health and alleviate the burden of administrative tasks for GPs.
