Florence will give advice on how to deal with stress, be more active, quit e-cigarettes and nicotine, and improve mental health. It will also offer details about COVID-19 vaccines. Florence 2.0 can communicate in seven different languages (amazing!). The seven languages are English, Arabic, French, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, and Russian.

Florence can provide information about COVID-19 and how to quit smoking in all languages. The other topics are only available in English, with the remaining six languages set to be updated by the end of 2022.

AI improves healthcare professionals' ability to better understand the needs of the people they care for. This allows them to give accurate feedback, advice, and support.

Google's DeepMind Health is an example of AI usage in the healthcare sector. It works with researchers, doctors, and patients to provide solutions to numerous healthcare issues.
