The World Health Organization estimates 4 billion people lack the health literacy to understand and act on basic medical information. This widening gap beyond clinics and surgeries remains one of healthcare’s most overlooked crises.
Onion.AI was created to close that gap. Built by doctors and powered by generative AI, it delivers hyper-personalised, science-based health education in plain language—accessible anytime, free of jargon. Rather than diagnosing, it equips patients with knowledge to make informed health choices—on their own or with a clinician—reshaping the patient-doctor relationship into a more balanced dialogue. In this talk, the founders of Onion.AI will share their mission, values, and commitment to science over fiction, and how they use cutting-edge technology to guide and empower the public—not mislead or marginalise. It’s an emblematic case of tech for good in health care.
