At CES 2025, AI is dominating health tech, but concerns over accuracy and privacy persist. Movano, the maker of the Evie smart ring, introduces EvieAI, a chatbot designed to deliver trustworthy health information. Unlike general Smart Ring AI chatbots, which pull data from vast, sometimes unreliable sources, EvieAI is trained exclusively on over 100,000 peer-reviewed medical journals and other verified medical sources approved by a medical advisory board.
EvieAI focuses on providing accurate health and wellness guidance, especially for women, without stepping into diagnostics or treatment. For example, if a user suspects diabetes, it might ask clarifying questions about symptoms like low vision or weight gain. However, for emergencies like a severed finger or suicidal thoughts, it directs users to emergency services or hotlines. Movano emphasizes that EvieAI only responds with verified answers and will admit when it doesn’t know something, ensuring no misleading information is given.
To keep up with the ever-changing medical landscape, EvieAI is updated monthly with new studies and breakthroughs. Conversations are private, encrypted, and periodically deleted. The chatbot does not track users or allow targeted ads, addressing common privacy concerns in health tech.
Movano has a track record of adhering to medical standards, gaining FDA clearance for its EvieMED ring for remote patient monitoring. The consumer-focused Evie Ring has also been refined based on user feedback to improve features like sleep and heart rate tracking.
EvieAI will be available as a beta version starting January 8th, exclusively for current Evie Ring users through the app, at no extra cost. Movano’s long-term goal is to integrate personal health data from its rings, further enhancing its ability to support users while maintaining high accuracy and privacy standards.
