Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, led by Chief Strategy Officer Oliver Rhine, is collaborating with Hippocratic AI to bring cutting-edge generative AI tools into pediatric healthcare—an area that has historically adopted new technologies later than adult care. This partnership aims to change that pattern by co-developing AI solutions specifically designed for children’s medicine, aligning with Cincinnati Children’s long-standing mission to put “children first.” Through this collaboration, the institution is positioning itself at the forefront of responsible, safety-focused AI adoption in pediatrics.
A key focus of the initiative is addressing workforce shortages and enhancing patient engagement. AI agents are being deployed to extend clinical capacity through proactive outreach, health risk assessments, and multilingual communication—crucial for a hospital serving families from all 50 U.S. states and over 50 countries. Beyond efficiency, the emphasis is on empathy at scale—using AI to maintain warmth, compassion, and consistency in sensitive pediatric interactions. As Cincinnati Children’s continues to explore these innovations, the partnership underscores how AI can help reimagine accessibility, communication, and care delivery for the next generation of patients.
