Akido Labs first launched Scope AI in LA and Kern counties in 2023. They send out street teams with AI tools to address the lack of doctors visiting encampments and shelters. It works like this: a member of the street team will interview unhoused folks while Scope AI listens and provides questions, diagnoses, and even prescription recommendations. Prior to using AI, streets teams reported case loads of 200 patients at a time. Now, with the help of AI they say that number is closer to 350.
