Movano Health Launches EvieAI: A Medical Journal-Trained AI Assistant for Accurate Health Information

This AI tool studied medical journals to answer your health queries

From Reddit to ChatGPT, health hacks, advice, and information are everywhere on the internet. That doesn't mean any of it is true -- or scientifically proven. Movano Health, maker of the Evie Ring, the smart ring for women, aims to provide its ring wearers with accurate health information. On Wednesday, Movano Health launched EvieAI, the Evie Ring's virtual wellness assistant, which is located in the Evie app, and users can consult for health information. The AI tool is trained on articles published in over 100,000 medical journals to improve the accuracy and complexity of the bot's query responses.

The wellness assistant can answer questions concerning symptoms, diseases, or procedures, Movano says. Other AI tools, like ChatGPT, are trained using public data, Movano Health points out in a press release. This makes this data stream far more unreliable, as it takes in scientifically unproven advice from people outside the medical field. Movano claims that its EvieAI tool, by comparison, is 99% accurate. Also: The best wearable tech we've seen at CES A recent survey by the Health Misinformation and Trust Initiative found that only 29% of adults trust AI chatbots to provide reliable health information. "About one in five adults (23%) say AI is doing more to hurt those seeking accurate health information, while a similar share (21%) say it is doing more to help those efforts," the survey states. Several wearables use AI to answer user questions or provide health suggestions. Oura, Whoop, and Ultrahuman all have some sort of AI coach or recommendation functionality that assesses user data and makes contextual recommendations based on provided input. EvieAI is available on the Evie app for smart ring users to try out now.

CES 2025: Movano's New EvieAI Chatbot Can Be Your Next Medical Assistant

The AI chatbot achieves high accuracy rates and doesn't provide answers to unknown topics. Nearly every device at CES has AI labeled all over it, given its flexibility of use and marketability. But its incoherence and the room for hallucinations make it a poor choice for medical advice. So, companies stray away from it because of the major repercussions it can have on someone's health and life. But smart ring maker Movano is coming out with their new health and wellness LLM called EvieAI, offering more reliable medical advice. Most AI models are trained on vast information libraries, so they have some information on all topics. Sort of like the jack of all trades. Movano's smart ring takes a different approach. As it has been post-trained on 100,000 medical journals written by medical professionals. This includes FDA-approved journals, practices, and procedures. This data is also cross-referenced with organizations like Harvard, UCLA, and Mayo Clinic. So EvieAI will only be pulling its information from this data set reducing its chances of hallucinations. The results speak for themselves as the answers from the AI chatbot are 99% accurate. That's also because EvieAI confirms whether your query tracks with the Movano's training data. The AI will also follow industry-standard encryption methods. Since chats are deleted periodically, no one will be able to track them back to the users. Movano's CEO John Mastrototaro also mentioned that the AI doesn't shy away from saying no. If you ask anything related to a topic it hasn't been trained upon, "it's not going to tell you because it doesn't have any information about that" according to Mostratotaro. He further added, "I think that it's okay to say no if you don't know the answer to something," Movano has recently re-released their Evie Ring to customers which addresses feedback on sleep data and heart rate accuracy. The company has also received FDA clearance for the EvieMED ring which is aimed at remote monitoring and clinical trials of patients. The beta version of the EvieAI will be rolling out starting January 8th to current Evie Ring users in their companion app. Movano is trying to do something that can change the way people perceive AI. Training their LLM on just medical journals will for sure improve the accuracy of results, and they are going to be better than other general AI models. However, even Doctors coincide with each other on the recent development of new techniques and technologies. So its accuracy and how correct it stands with its answers will be interesting to see.

To that end, Mastrototaro says the LLM is updated monthly with new approved documents such as medical journals and articles detailing breakthroughs. He also emphasizes that EvieAI is steering clear of anything diagnostic. The AI will not get into treatment but act more as a guide that asks clarifying questions to steer you in the right direction. For example, if you suspect that you might have diabetes, it may ask clarifying questions about whether you have experienced low vision or weight gain as well as inquire about your diet. But if you tell it you've chopped your finger off, or express that you're experiencing suicidal ideation, it'll direct you to the ER or to the number to call an appropriate hotline. The hope is that EvieAI can help people better research and prepare for a doctor's visit in a way that's more natural and supportive than, say, falling down a WebMD rabbit hole.
