Healthcare Weekly AI News
December 1 - December 9, 2025This weekly update highlights how AI agents are transforming healthcare worldwide by taking on specific tasks and learning from experience. In the United States, doctors are testing AI copilots like DAX Copilot and Nabla that help write patient notes faster and reduce burnout. These AI agents watch what doctors do and get smarter over time. Meanwhile, ambient AI scribes are automatically creating medical records, which means doctors spend less time typing and more time with patients. In the United Kingdom, a new app called Holly Health uses machine learning to coach patients with multiple health problems, sending helpful messages at just the right moment when someone is ready to make healthy choices. Over in Greece, Sword Health's AI agent is now answering calls on the national health hotline, helping route people to the right care by asking smart questions and identifying who needs help most urgently. In New Zealand, the government launched an AI digital front door for mental health that acts like a smart guide, helping people find the mental health services they need without getting lost in a complicated system. These AI agents share something important: they learn and improve by doing their job every day. Doctors, hospitals, and health systems are discovering that when AI agents handle routine tasks, human experts can focus on what they do best—caring for people and making important decisions.
