History

Ada was established in 2011 by clinician Dr. Claire Novorol, researcher Martin Hirsch, and businessman Daniel Nathrath.^[2][3] The company's first product, "Ada DX", was a clinical decision support technology aimed at assisting doctors with differential diagnosis of rare diseases based on a probabilistic weighting from a patient's medical history.^[4] The company's second product, called "Assess," was a similar model aimed directly at consumers, which allowed clients to enter demographics, medical history, and interact with a chatbot that asks them about the symptoms, duration of illness, and severity of the problems they are experiencing, then suggests care recommendations and potential underlying causes.^[5]

Rare diseases

A 2019, retrospective study evaluated Ada DX in rare disease diagnosis. Ada's top suggestion matched the confirmed diagnosis in 89% of cases (83 of 93 cases). In more than 56% of cases, Ada provided correct disease suggestions earlier than the time of clinical diagnosis. More than 33% of patients could have been identified as having a rare disease in the first documented clinical visit.^[6]
