Hippocratic AI, a generative AI company, announced a strategic partnership with Eraas Health, a company that analyzes weather data that helps to alert people who are in danger due to adverse weather.
Eraas Health's platform monitors environmental conditions and identifies individuals at high health risk using analytics, data science and now, Hippocratic AI's generative AI healthcare agents.
By converting climate signals into actionable insights, Eraas Health enables health plans and state agencies to take preventive measures before a weather-related incident occurs with the aim of reducing hospitalizations.
The two companies, which began working together in April, said that the insights are implemented through Hippocratic AI's Polaris Constellation System, a platform that provides multilingual outreach via generative AI healthcare agents.
The agents conduct real-time conversations with members, offering information and engagement.
When transportation assistance, a social determinant barrier or a clinical concern is identified, the system notifies care teams or other local resources.
"Proactive outreach can save lives. Through our partnership with ERAAS Health, we’re operationalizing climate data into compassionate, real-time conversations that help people stay safe and connected to care," Munjal Shah, CEO of Hippocratic AI, said in a statement.
Samrat Kulkarni, founder and CEO of Eraas Health, said that the company's platform ingests clinical data, combining it with environmental data, to identify unprotected members.
"This integrated system with Hippocratic AI can be activated in less than a day and is a game-changer today for payors and providers to protect their members from sudden and foreseen environmental risks," Kulkarni said in a statement.
THE LARGER TREND
Earlier this month, University Hospitals collaborated with Hippocratic AI to deploy its conversational agents within clinical workflows and for patient engagement throughout the hospital system.
The aim was to deploy Hippocratic AI's voice-based agents to back patients across a range of non-diagnostic use cases.
In July, KPMG teamed up with Hippocratic AI to use its agents to address global workforce shortages.
The aim was for Hippocratic generative AI agents to free up provider time by using conversational agents designed to interact with humans.
That same month, Hippocratic AI was selected to participate in the Health Tech Ecosystem, a key component of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' digital transformation initiative.
In May, Hippocratic AI partnered with Eucalia to launch the first Japanese-language genAI healthcare agent for non-diagnostic, patient-facing clinical tasks. The partnership marked Hippocratic AI's entry into the Japanese market.
Through the partnership, Hippocratic AI aimed to boost clinician workflow efficiency, enhance high-quality patient engagement and improve patient outcomes.
In April, Burjeel Holdings, a United Arab Emirates-based healthcare services provider, and Hippocratic AI announced a strategic partnership to transform healthcare delivery.
Through the alliance, Hippocratic AI's generative AI healthcare agents were developed for patient-facing non-diagnostic clinical tasks and distributed across Burjeel Holdings' healthcare facilities and physiotherapy clinics in the UAE and Oman.
The partnership also included multilingual AI agents, such as Arabic and the Emirati dialect. Hippocratic AI's agents currently speak more than 15 languages, including Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese and localized dialects like Emirati Arabic.
