Hippocratic AI

Hippocratic AI envisions a future where healthcare accessibility and quality are revolutionized by intelligent, safety-first AI technologies that support clinicians and empower patients globally. At the core of this future is a dedication to the principle of "Do No Harm," ensuring that every AI interaction enhances care without compromise.

By harnessing a specialized Large Language Model constellation tailored for healthcare, Hippocratic AI creates multi-agent systems that collaboratively manage patient engagement and operational tasks with unprecedented accuracy and safety. This innovation is not just about technology, but about transforming the fabric of healthcare delivery, making it more responsive, scalable, and humane.

Through deep collaboration with healthcare experts and continuous advancements in AI, Hippocratic AI is crafting a world of healthcare abundance, where technology enriches human care, extending its reach and impact to every individual in need.

We've been watching Hippocratic AI since they emerged from stealth in 2023, and honestly? They're doing something refreshingly different in the crowded healthcare AI space. While everyone else races to build the flashiest diagnostic tools, Hippocratic focuses on the unglamorous but crucial work of patient follow-ups, medication reminders, and care coordination.

Their approach feels intentionally measured — and we appreciate that in healthcare tech, where moving fast and breaking things isn't exactly ideal.

What Makes Polaris Stand Out

The company's flagship Polaris system isn't just another chatbot with a medical degree. It's actually a "constellation" of specialized AI agents working together — think of it like a virtual care team where one agent handles nutrition questions while another manages post-discharge check-ins.

What impressed us most is the phone-first approach. Instead of forcing patients into yet another app, these AI agents simply call people. It sounds almost retro, but it's brilliant for reaching older patients or those without smartphones.

The Numbers That Matter

Here's where Hippocratic really caught our attention: they're already live with 16 healthcare organizations and have completed hundreds of thousands of patient calls. The 9.0/10 patient satisfaction rating suggests they're onto something real, not just impressive in demos.

The $1.64 billion valuation after their Series B might seem steep, but when you consider they've got Universal Health Services and Cincinnati Children's as actual paying customers — not just pilot partners — it starts making sense.

Who Should Care

If you're running a health system drowning in routine patient outreach tasks, Hippocratic could be a lifeline. We see this working especially well for organizations dealing with high patient volumes and limited nursing staff for follow-up care.

The real test will be scaling beyond their current 23 contracted organizations. But with NVIDIA as both an investor and likely compute partner, plus backing from Andreessen Horowitz, they've got the resources to find out.
