Nvidia and Hippocratic AI Launch $9/hr AI Nurses Amid US Nurse Shortage
The AI nurses aim to provide cost-effective medical services, but concerns about their ability to replace human compassion and diagnose symptoms persist.
- Nvidia has partnered with Hippocratic AI to introduce AI nurses, offering a range of medical services for $9 an hour, aiming to address the US nurse shortage.
- The AI nurses can perform tasks such as post-op check-ins, colonoscopy screenings, and provide nutritional advice, but their ability to replace human compassion and diagnose subtle symptoms remains questionable.
- Over 40 healthcare companies are already testing the technology, which includes features like medication onboarding and chronic care management for various conditions.
- Critics argue that while AI nurses may alleviate some staffing issues, they don't address underlying problems in the US healthcare system, such as poor working conditions and low wages for human nurses.
- Hippocratic AI's data suggests their AI nurses outperform human counterparts in several categories, sparking debate on the safety and effectiveness of replacing human nurses with AI.
