Your.MD, the only personal health assistant that harnesses Artificial Intelligence (AI), is now available to users on global messenger platforms for the first time. The news comes as Your.MD reveals it has become the number one health app in over 40 countries since its launch in November 2015 (1) including India, the Philippines and Nigeria.
The integration with Slack, a team collaboration and messaging tool, and Telegram, a secure mobile and desktop messaging app, marks the first step in Your.MD's plan to make its free healthcare service available to users on their favourite messaging platform.
