Passing this along….

I am working on getting Aetna, a large US health insurer, to sponsor a competition for healthcare-specific A.I. with a similar prize later in 2015 in the Winter, although most likely global and virtual in nature (likely though to have an event at MIT for those who’d like to attend in-person). Would you or anyone you know be interested?
Notably we aren’t interested so much in chatbots that try to achieve a diagnosis – goodness, no, that’s actually not the point – but other healthcare domains, particularly if, say, chatbots (or emailbots or SMS textbots or twitterbots) can simulate the empathy of a good weight loss coach, or the understanding of someone explaining a medication, and so forth.
