Socher, a leader in the field of AI based in Silicon Valley in the US, has invested in his personal capacity in Visit.

"The visit app is one of the most exciting combinations of human and artificial intelligence, helping people get fast, accurate and affordable advice on their health," Socher said.

He was the founder and CEO/CTO of AI startup MetaMind that was acquired by Salesforce in 2016.

Prasad said typically, users engage with the Visit Chatbot by describing their symptoms and the bot poses a series of questions to predict the most probable diagnosis.
