UK-based digital healthcare company Clinova has launched Caidr 3.0, the latest version of its health and wellness search engine for smart self-care.

Key features include a search tool for health topics, treatments and products and messages and content on wellbeing and local advice on health while travelling abroad.

WHY IT MATTERS

The app's architecture is designed by a medical team of pharmacists and doctors with more than 250 years of combined experience in patient interactions.

Caidr’s natural language model allows systems-wide updates to more than 212,000 words of content in just under 0.9 seconds.

The health search engine uses a medical lexicon of more than 97,000 medical terms spanning nine medical specialties. Caidr’s natural language processor uses algorithms to create customised feeds of health content and respond to user search requests.

THE LARGER CONTEXT

Spanish startup Seqera Labs has raised $5.5 million (€4.7M) in seed funding in a round co-led by European venture capitalists Talis Capital and Speedinvest.

Digital health chatbot Babylon is expanding its work in Rwanda, aiming to make it easier for people who don’t have a cell phone number to access its health services. 

ON THE RECORD

Arsalan Karim, co-founder of Clinova, said: “Caidr 3.0 realises our long-term vision of bringing the full power of its health and wellness data platform to your mobile device. With a search bar at the centre of a redesigned user interface, Caidr Search is both easy to find and simple to use. You simply type in a health topic you would like to learn about, and Caidr takes care of the rest.”

“If your query sounds familiar, Caidr creates an article about the health topics you searched for, complete with a list of products for smart self-care. This update, available to download today, puts the expertise of Clinova’s medical team on full display. Caidr’s content is clear, informative, and—most of all—good for your health."
