Hippocratic AI is developing a safety-focused LLM for healthcare applications. The company was founded by physicians from Johns Hopkins and Washington University, hospital administrators, Medicare experts, and AI researchers from Google and Nvidia. Co-founder and CEO Munjal Shah previously sold Like.com to Google for $100 million.
Hippocratic focuses on non-diagnostic, patient-facing tasks like explaining complex medical bills, providing post-surgery instructions, medication reminders, and delivering negative test results with empathy. Hippocratic AI aims to improve healthcare accessibility and quality through specialized AI while ensuring safety. The startup has raised $50 million in initial funding from top investors such as General Catalyst and Andreessen Horowitz, plus another $15 million from various healthcare partners.
As an employee at Hippocratic, you would help shape the development of healthcare AI products that could benefit patients globally. Risk-wise, the company must prove real-world benefits for providers and navigate regulatory challenges to drive further clinical adoption. Given the founders' expertise and methodical approach, Hippocratic AI is positioned to make an impact in healthcare through language models tuned for medical needs.
