Agentic AI in Healthcare A multi-agent AI system recently diagnosed rare medical cases correctly over 80% of the time. That's four times better than seasoned human clinicians. It didn't get there by being smarter than any single AI. It got there by having multiple agents argue with each other until the errors got caught.

Overview An eye surgery center was losing patients. Not to competitors, but to no-shows. Eighteen percent of scheduled appointments went unfilled every week. Four full-time staff members spent their days calling roughly 500 patients, trying to confirm appointments. When that didn't work, the clinic overbooked randomly, hoping the math would balance out. Some days every patient showed up and the waiting room was chaos. Other days slots sat empty.
