Five More AI-Powered Medical Clinics Now Open in Phoenix"Running in to grab a gallon of milk" is now synonymous with "running in to get that nagging earache treated" for Arizonans living in the Phoenix area thanks to five more Akos Med Clinics now open in Safeway stores in Scottsdale (2), Ahwatukee, Chandler, and Laveen. Five other locations, which opened last November, are in Gilbert, Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa and Tempe. An 11th clinic will open in Casa Grande later this month, and a 12th in Boise, Idaho in March. "We are committed to providing our customers unprecedented convenience for their total health needs," said Joe Leyba, director of Pharmacy for Albertsons Companies Southwest, which operates Safeway stores. "Our hope is that these clinics help improve access to healthcare in the neighborhoods where we have these locations because they are located in the same place our customers are already buying groceries and picking up their prescriptions." So what makes this visit to a healthcare provider different from the norm? Patients experience a completely automated health encounter using Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality. Here's how it works:
Akos Med Clinic accepts most insurance plans, AHCCCS and Medicare. Cash visits are only $75, about half the cost of a typical urgent care visit.
