Hippocratic AI

Overview

Hippocratic AI develops "the safest generative AI healthcare agent for patient interactions." Built on the proprietary Polaris Safety Constellation architecture, the agents do not diagnose or prescribe — they focus on non-diagnostic patient-facing work such as chronic care and post-discharge follow-up. The Menlo Park company works with 50+ health systems, payors, and pharma organizations across six countries. As of August 2026 it has completed more than 250 million clinical interactions across over 300 live clinical use cases.

Key Features

Polaris Safety Constellation

A 700-billion-parameter primary model surrounded by 30+ supervising models handling safety functions such as escalation and adverse-event detection, checked for consistency, safety, and empathy. Polaris 5.0, released in April 2026, is a 5-trillion-parameter constellation with 1.5-second time-to-first-audio and 20+ added clinical skills spanning drug safety, lab interpretation, clinical escalation, and insurance benefits. Safety has been validated by 7,700+ US-licensed clinicians reviewing 775,000 calls, reported at 99.89% correct advice with zero instances of severe harm.

Agentic Orchestrators

A product line that sells outcomes rather than individual agents. Each orchestrator pairs a team of specialized conversational agents with a supervising coordination layer that decides which agent engages which patient, when, and with what message. More than 30 orchestrators are available across payers, providers, and life sciences, measured against targets such as readmission rates, Medicare Star Ratings, HEDIS quality measures, chronic disease management, and clinical trial enrollment.

Safety-First Design

• No diagnosis
• No prescribing
• Strict guardrails against misinformation
• Support care teams

Patient-Facing Agents

• Chronic care (diabetes, hypertension follow-up)
• Post-discharge monitoring
• Medication reminders
• Appointment support
• Health education

Life Sciences

The integration of Grove AI extends coverage to clinical development work such as trial recruitment and follow-up, and a collaboration with BCG supports deployment at pharma and medtech companies. Hippocratic AI works with 5 of the top 20 global pharma companies.

Pricing

Enterprise-only with no published rate card, though the pricing model itself is public.

• Billing is per "agent hour" of active patient conversation at roughly $9 per hour per agent — not per seat or per license.
• Custom contracts for health systems, payors, and pharma
• Contact sales required

Strengths

• ✅ Polaris 5.0 Safety Constellation multi-model verification
• ✅ 250M+ clinical interactions (50+ partners across six countries, 300+ live use cases)
• ✅ Safety-first (no diagnosis/prescribing)
