AI is coming for *checks notes* nurses

Nvidia announced a collaboration with Hippocratic AI on Monday, a healthcare company that offers generative AI nurses who work for just $9 an hour. Hippocratic promotes how it can undercut real human nurses, who can cost $90 an hour, with its cheap AI agents that offer medical advice to patients over video calls in real-time.
“Voice-based digital agents powered by generative AI can usher in an age of abundance in healthcare, but only if the technology responds to patients as a human would,” said Kimberly Powell, vice president of Healthcare at NVIDIA in a press release Monday.
Nvidia is powering Hippocratic’s real-time responses over video calls. In a demo posted by Nvidia, a semi-human-looking AI agent named Rachel verbally instructs a patient on how to take penicillin. The agent then tells the patient it will report back all this information to her real human doctor. Rachel is one of many AI nurses that healthcare providers can choose from, according to one of Hippocratic’s product pages. The AI nurses range in specialties from “Colonoscopy Screening” to “Breast Cancer Care Manager,” all for less than minimum wage.
Hippocratic directly promotes how it can undercut the living wages of real nurses as a feature, not a bug. One page of the company’s website compares a human nurse’s $90 per hour salary to an AI agent’s $9 an-hour running costs. Hippocratic claims its AI nurses outperform human nurses regarding bedside manner, education, and narrowly miss on satisfaction, according to a survey.

But will AI get blackout drunk at a bar and go home with any random guy? I think not

Will still be programmed by people and will push whatever the govt wants it to push

Sorry but AI nurses are not capable of this

Well I don’t know about yall, but I don’t video chat with nurses about my health issues, I go to the doctor.

Still waiting on that computer-programming AI to show up and replace me. Guess I'll just enjoy the $200k / year while it lasts. No way that salary's a market signal that what I do is hard as frick. Forbes Magazine said so.

These IT and megalomaniac nerds are moving waaaay too fast. Everybody wants to be a billionaire but doesn’t understand AI is only good at a small portion of functions right now.
It’s not replacing skilled labor for awhile.
We can’t even get cars to self drive after a decade and billions of investment.

Let me know when the AI nurse can clean up an elderly patient that just shite themself in the bed.

I think we could. The problem is that Elon Musk is trying to use "AI" to do it. Dynamic positioning systems basically drive boats, and they're very safe, but they use absolutely zero "AI" to do it.
99% isn't good enough for driving. It isn't good enough for coding. Maybe it's good enough for nursing?

As long as it isn't involved in doing hand operations I say give it a shot.

I'm sure AI can TikTok, but can it be a hero?

Won't impact my household income until one of those robots figures out how to cleanup someone who pooped all over themselves and their hospital bed or ripped all their IV's out and are raging incoherently.

Do you use an algorithm for your thread titles?

If you can't follow the simple instructions on the bottle I'm pretty sure AI Rachel is not going to be much help.

It may replace telehealth stuff (including NP’s and MD’s), but it won’t impact person to person interactions until you have robots that can do it.
Radiologists on the other hand are screwed.

Since AI nurses don’t have houses, where will the “Heroes Live Here” signs go?
Gonna hurt the letter sign revenue.

Seriously though, can they do TikTok choreographed dances?

I sat in on a CEU about utilizing AI in suicidality assessments. The program would be "open and listening" while the clinician was doing the assessment with the client and would determine from variables whether the client is suicidal that the clinician may not pick up on. It was interesting to see in action.
That said, there were some major roadblocks to it's practical utilization in a therapy setting:
1. The cost of the program was the upwards of 20-30k with limited licensing. If you're an individual therapist or working in a private practice/smaller cohort it's not financially feasible.
2. There were legitimate concerns about client privacy and program security.
3. They were getting pushback from liability insurance covering the program when in use.
