AI agents for healthcare integrate with electronic healthcare systems to automate workflows in clinical operations. After reviewing the documentation of several solutions, I listed the best AI agent examples for healthcare and explained their agentic AI capabilities. Here are my key takeaways:
AI agent examples for healthcare
- Agents like Sully.ai specialize in general-purpose healthcare automation, executing several business tasks such as medical coding, appointment scheduling, and office administration.
- Some agents can be used for more complex use cases. For example, Hippocratic AI can be used for medical imaging. It can review radiology images and detect lung cancer.
- Others specialize in automating particular healthcare processes. For example, Amelia’s AI agent focuses on patient support. It schedules appointments, answers patient queries, and provides emotional support.

Sully.ai | General-purpose healthcare automation |
Hippocratic AI | General-purpose healthcare automation & medical imaging |
Innovacer | General-purpose healthcare automation |
Beam AI | General-purpose healthcare automation |
Notable Health | General-purpose healthcare automation |

Are healthcare AI agents truly agentic?
At their core, AI agents perform tasks, make decisions, and take actions without needing human help.
→ For now, healthcare agents are not fully autonomous; most still require ‘humans in the loop’ for task execution.
→ Yet, these agents possess several agentic capabilities, including:
- Autonomous data retrieval: Retrieve patient data from the system, including personal details and medical history.
- Data validation and accuracy verification: Cross-check the data against existing records for accuracy.
- Autonomous data validation and issue flagging: Validate the verified data and flag discrepancies for resolution.
- Autonomous data updating and record management: Update the patient record with the validated information.
Will healthcare AI agents become fully autonomous?
What we are seeing in today’s healthcare AI agents is “supervised autonomy,” where AI handles the heavy lifting of research (e.g., data extraction from lab reports) and repetitive tasks (e.g., recording patient vital signs) execution, but with human oversight at key decision points.
These agents are still far from delivering fully autonomous, production-ready results in complex medical use cases, such as patient placement and image scanning.
In the future, these systems could evolve into multi-agent networks, where different AI agents collaborate and interact, gradually improving towards more agentic solutions.
For example, tech companies like NVIDIA and GE HealthCare collaborate to build agentic robotic systems like X-ray and ultrasound, which use medical imaging to operate in the physical world.1
