Unith (UNT) has secured a contract from the Alliance for Public Health (APH) to deploy digital humans for dispensing critical HIV and healthcare guidance across 14 Eastern European countries.
The initial one-year contract, valued at US$111,000 (A$164,000), offers the possibility of a five-year extension.
Unith is set to launch its digital social workers in June 2024 across the following countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
“Our AI-Powered digital humans will provide the same response as healthcare workers, and they will be available around the clock, this is a terrific opportunity to maximise the accessibility of healthcare information while relieving pressure and expenses on the health system using AI,” UNT CEO Idan Schmorak said.
“We believe there is great potential in the use of AI-enabled health advice across the public and private healthcare around the world, our digital humans can provide consistent and reliable advice without a delay.”
These AI-driven bots will be accessible 24/7, enabling people from remote areas with limited internet access to receive real-time responses based on the most up-to-date evidence-based information.
UNT shares were up four per cent, trading at 2.6 cents at 3:24 pm AEST.
