Curai’s CEO and Cofounder Neal Khosla recently spoke at one of the top technology events, the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) for a panel discussion called, “Health AI Startups: Innovating the Future of Healthcare.” He was joined by CEOs from Hippocratic AI, Figur8, and AshaAI, to discuss how healthcare organizations are using AI to transform healthcare, scale operations, and improve patient experience.
The conversation made one thing clear: adopting AI isn’t optional. It’s a critical step for healthcare organizations striving to deliver better, scalable care and improve health outcomes.
During the pandemic, adopting new technologies, like virtual care, was a necessity for providers to continue reaching patients. Innovations in digital health were essential when in-person visits were limited. As brick-and-mortar clinics reopened, patients still struggled to access care, and these issues were magnified by healthcare’s workforce shortages. What has quickly become clear is that generative AI can help bridge these gaps.
Today, healthcare organizations are operating in a reality where clinicians are stretched thin and facing impossible expectations to meet patient needs. In fact, for a standard 2,500 patient panel size, a primary care provider would need 26.7 hours in a day to complete their workload! That workload simply isn’t feasible, but AI-powered tools can help by augmenting care teams and taking on administrative tasks, allowing clinicians to focus on what matters most: delivering high quality, empathetic care.
“What we’re finding is that it consistently blows patients’ minds to get this level of access and speed of response from the healthcare system,” said Neal.
By freeing up clinicians’ time, AI is enabling a level of patient engagement that was previously impossible.
