1️⃣ The silver bullet: clinicians are in the driver seat

Until now, physicians have often been treated as either the users of solutions or as costly resources to replace.

Hippocratic AI introduces a new approach, allowing clinicians to create their own AI agents in under 30 minutes.

These agents then go through safety testing by both the creators and Hippocratic AI staff.

Clinicians who create these agents also earn a share of the revenue generated when the agents are used by customers.

2️⃣ AI agent ecosystems might leapfrog many existing solutions on the market

Over 95% of hospitals are still struggling to establish a proper data layer.

AI agents seem like a giant leap ahead for them.

However, jumping straight to the AI agents' marketplace approach might be the best strategy today, as AI agents could render most existing hospital tech solutions obsolete.

3️⃣ Hospitals stuck in a rigid, monolithic EHR system risk missing the train

The only reason a hospital CIO would strengthen their legacy EHR is because they have no other choice (due to a lack of resources or capabilities).

In all other cases, this approach should be avoided.

Leading hospitals, like Mayo, understand that new technologies are helping them regain control over their data and IT systems.

This allows them to create better patient experiences / outcomes and build new business models.

4️⃣ In 2025, we’ll see whether AI agents truly have transformative potential or if they’re just hype

Right now, I’m very excited about the possibilities AI agents bring to hospitals.

However, healthcare is a particularly challenging field for new technologies.
