Empowering Clinicians to Extend Their Impact and Earn Through Innovation

PALO ALTO, Calif.: #GenAI--Hippocratic AI, the company that pioneered the first healthcare LLM for patient-facing non-diagnostic clinical tasks, today announced the launch of its Healthcare AI Agent App Store. Marking a bold step forward in healthcare innovation, the AI Agent App Store empowers clinicians to design and shape artificial intelligence (AI) agents that address the pressing challenges of patient care and operational efficiency. Creating an agent can take less than 30 minutes and is followed by safety testing by the creator and Hippocratic AI staff. Clinician creators then share in the revenue that their agents generate when used by Hippocratic’s customers.

One of the key insights that led Hippocratic AI to create the AI Agent App Store was the understanding that clinicians, over the course of their careers, develop deep clinical expertise as well as practical insights around specific patient conditions and clinical workflows. Incorporating this experiential wisdom would make our AI agents safer, more empathetic and result in better patient outcomes.

“Since the founding of Hippocratic AI, we have believed that the best way to build safe and effective AI is through close collaboration with those delivering care. Until now, this collaboration has primarily been with health systems and payors. Today, with the launch of our AI Agent App Store, we are also directly engaging licensed US clinicians to harness the power of AI. We truly believe that clinicians know best,” said Munjal Shah, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Hippocratic AI.

Traditionally, engineers spent months developing healthcare solutions for clinicians, often missing the mark on practical needs. The Hippocratic AI Agent App Store seeks to turn this paradigm on its head, giving healthcare professionals a direct role in crafting AI solutions that meet their needs and doing so in a short period of time.

The process for AI Agent creators is easy and efficient and requires no software programming knowledge. It takes clinicians less than 30 minutes to create a prototype and a few hours to obtain a version that can be safety tested. After Hippocratic has certified the agent and it is used by a Hippocratic customer, the clinician creator will receive 5% of the base fees plus 70% of any premium rate set by the creator. Every clinician will have access to a dashboard to track their AI agent’s performance and use and receive feedback for further development.

Ensuring Safety

We follow a three-step phased approach to ensure the highest safety standards with these clinician-generated AI agents:

“Partnering with clinicians is at the heart of creating stronger, safer generative AI solutions for healthcare,” said Amy McCarthy, DNP, RNC-MNN, NE-BC, CENP, Chief Nursing Officer of Hippocratic AI. “By embracing a co-design approach, we empower clinicians to craft solutions that directly respond to the needs of patients and caregivers. At the same time, we ensure every agent is rigorously tested for safety, underscoring our unwavering commitment to safe, compassionate, and responsible innovation.”

Building a Community of Innovators

Our founding clinician creators have made over 300 AI agents in just a few weeks, focused on over 25 specialties. Some of our founding contributors include:
