Artificial Intelligence entity Hippocratic tapped for partnership in CMS digital healthcare environment and digital transformation endeavor
Hippocratic AI Selected for CMS's Health Tech Ecosystem
Hippocratic AI, a leading provider of safety-focused Conversational AI Assistants for healthcare, has been chosen to participate in the United States' Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Health Tech Ecosystem. This initiative is a key element of CMS's digital transformation efforts.
The company, co-founded by CEO Munjal Shah and a team of physicians, hospital administrators, healthcare professionals, and AI researchers from various institutions, has developed a Large Language Model (LLM) for healthcare with a strong emphasis on safety. Hippocratic AI's vision for healthcare is driven by both industry transformation and broad collaboration, and they commend CMS on its effort to bring together the Health Tech Ecosystem.
Hippocratic AI's Conversational AI Assistants, also known as generative AI healthcare agents, have been used by healthcare providers to complete over 3.35 million patient calls, earning an average patient satisfaction rating of 8.95 out of 10. The company's tools are designed to connect to CMS Aligned Networks or personal health record apps, securely access relevant health information, and deliver personalized, helpful support.
In line with the "Conversational AI Assistants" pledge defined by CMS, Hippocratic AI's tools will clearly distinguish educational content from clinical guidance, assist patients directly when appropriate, and guide them to care from a health professional when needed. The company believes that a safe LLM can improve healthcare accessibility and health outcomes globally.
Hippocratic AI is backed by leading investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins, NVIDIA's NVentures, Premji Invest, SV Angel, and six health systems. Other companies supporting the development of conversational AI assistants for healthcare within the CMS-initiated ecosystem include Epic and BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company).
