Beyond Simple Automation
2026 marks the shift from generative AI to 'Agentic AI'—autonomous systems that can execute multi-step medical workflows rather than just writing text.

These agents handle everything from scheduling and claims automation to ambient listening during exams, allowing doctors to focus entirely on the patient.

A 2026 study by Slalom found that 57% of US physicians believe reducing administrative burden is the top use case for AI.
