Opyl Limited (ASX:OPL) has launched a new company name and brand, heralding its entry into the rapidly expanding global digital health and artificial intelligence (AI) market.

“Patient stories and information shared to social networks gives us an ability to understand what their needs are and how they are not being met, identifying gaps where new technologies can be developed, predict the spread of infectious diseases, identify shortcomings in health and wellness education, improve compliance, identify new clinical intervention opportunities and opening up a novel way for patients to participate in medical research as partners.
