AI in Healthcare: What Actually Works Right Now

Past the Hype

We don't need AI to replace doctors. We need AI to stop doctors from doing data entry for three hours every night. The most successful AI applications in healthcare right now are incredibly boring and massively profitable.

What we are actually building

• Ambient Scribes: An LLM listens to the appointment and writes the clinical note automatically. This is a solved problem and it saves physicians an hour a day.
• Prior Auth Automation: Using NLP to read a 50-page patient chart, extract the specific evidence the insurance company demands, and auto-filling the forms.
• Predictive Staffing: Simple machine learning models that tell hospital admins they will need three extra ICU nurses on Thursday based on current admission trends.

The best AI products in healthcare are completely invisible to the patient.
