In this episode of Healthcare On Air, recorded live at the inaugural Healthcare On Air Summit, a panel of builders and operators dig into why the future of AI agents is here and now. The conversation cuts through hype to define what actually makes an “agent”. The discussion focuses on real adoption pathways, from caregiver-anchored companions supporting older adults to tool-using agents that navigate complex clinical protocols, and they debate safety, bias, liability, and the responsibilities of foundation model providers. Looking ahead, the group envisions ambient allies that live across everyday devices, reduce administrative burden, and coordinate care continuously, moving healthcare toward experiences that are more proactive, personalized, and human-centered.
