Healthcare Weekly AI News

November 3 - November 11, 2025

This week, healthcare companies announced major developments in AI agents—computer programs that can think and make decisions to help doctors and patients. Several companies received huge amounts of money to build these smart helpers.

Hippocratic AI, a company that makes AI agents for hospitals, received $126 million in funding at a value of $3.5 billion. Their AI agents handle tasks like reminding patients to take medicine and checking if people need medical screening. These agents don't make medical decisions, but they help with things that take up doctors' time.

Tala Health got $100 million in funding to build AI agents that help doctors with their work and reduce paperwork burden. Hyro, another company making AI agent platforms for healthcare, raised $45 million in funding led by Healthier Capital.

Other companies announced new AI agents this week. Yosi Health launched an AI Voice Agent that helps patients when they call the doctor's office. It answers phones, sends text messages, and helps with scheduling appointments. Net Health deployed an AI support agent using Salesforce technology to answer customer questions.

Doc.com announced a big step forward with an AI-powered platform that offers free digital doctor visits to people who don't have good healthcare access. The company's Free basic healthcare program uses AI to deliver quick care using telemedicine—visiting a doctor through video call.

These AI agents are changing how hospitals work. They take over boring tasks that waste doctors' time, like answering phones and scheduling visits. This lets doctors spend more time actually talking to and treating patients. One doctor shared how an AI tool helped him treat a patient with a leg infection by checking all her medicines in seconds instead of 45 minutes.

The big idea is that AI agents work like helpful teammates. They're not trying to replace doctors. Instead, they do the repetitive work so doctors can focus on what they do best—taking care of people.
