A generative artificial intelligence startup focused on building foundation models for health care and using it to improve patient outcomes, lower health care costs, and address the growing shortage of health care workers worldwide.
Founded by generative AI researchers, hospital administrators, physicians, and Medicare experts, Hippocratic AI has developed a safety-focused large language model to provide nondiagnostic health care services. Its large language model outperformed Open AI’s GPT-4 on 105 of 114 health care exams and certifications. Hippocratic AI has received a total of $120M in funding and is backed by leading investors, including General Catalyst, Andreessen Horowitz, Premji Invest, and SV Angel.
The field of generative AI companies is evolving fast and many companies, that have been exploring the field for years, are gaining in visibility. However,
Munjal Shah, CEO and cofounder of Hippocratic AI, shares the difference between his company’s large language model and Google and ChatGPT’s LLMs – and the
As co-founder and CEO of Hippocratic AI, Munjal Shah is developing artificial intelligence that he believes could fundamentally reshape how medical care is delivered. His company’s generative AI large language models, purpose-built for healthcare, aim to take on countless routine tasks. Those tasks are currently performed by healthcare providers, everything from preoperative instructions to chronic disease management check-ins.
“What if instead of doing a co-pilot model, we do autopilot?” Shah posits, contrasting his vision with AI tools designed merely to assist human clinicians. “What if we build fully automated AIs that call people on the phone and talk to them? Imagine an AI that can do nondiagnostic, low-risk tasks like preoperative calls and medication reminders?”
Hippocratic AI focuses on leveraging large language models (LLMs) to engage in long, multiturn voice conversations within healthcare, distinguishing its approach from other AI applications that prioritize
Munjal Shah’s company, Hippocratic AI, is taking a cautious and deliberate approach to launching its flagship nondiagnostic healthcare large language model (LLM). Founded in 2023, the company has
