Overview

• At its Users Group Meeting, Epic introduced agent-based tools including Art for clinicians, Emmie for patients, and Penny for revenue operations under a unified “healthcare intelligence” strategy.
• Epic said its native AI charting and ambient documentation, built with Microsoft’s Dragon technology and using Haiku and Canto for capture, is targeted for limited use in early 2026 with support for third-party scribes preserved.
• MyChart Central will provide single sign-on across participating health systems, and the Emmie assistant can answer questions about test results, propose appointment times, and suggest screenings.
• Epic highlighted its Cosmos dataset of deidentified records from roughly 300 million patients to power foundation models such as Cosmos AI and the CoMET predictor for tasks like diagnosis risk, readmission, and discharge planning.
• Some administrative capabilities are already live through Penny, such as coding suggestions and denial appeal letters, and Epic said it has roughly 160–200 AI projects in development as CIOs evaluate pricing, migration risks, and governance.
