The backstory
Ada is a clinically validated symptom assessment app — genuinely more careful than a general model, with a real medical team behind it. The behavioural reality is that people now type their symptoms into whatever chat product is open. Ada is wounded in consumer, and has pivoted toward health-system partnerships where clinical validation is the point.
