Digital Event Horizon
NVIDIA Corporation and Deloitte are working together to deploy digital AI agents for healthcare applications, with the goal of enhancing patient care and reducing administrative burden. The partnership involves the development of a digital AI agent called Frontline AI Teammate, which utilizes NVIDIA's AI Enterprise software platform to provide natural, human-like conversations with patients. By leveraging advanced technologies like NIM microservices and ACE, Deloitte aims to create interactive, AI-driven avatars that are ideal for telehealth applications.
NVIDIA Corporation partners with Deloitte to develop digital AI agents for healthcare applications. The digital agent, Frontline AI Teammate, has natural, human-like conversations with patients before hospital visits. The agent utilizes NVIDIA's AI Enterprise software platform and enables practical conversations in any language. The technology aims to reduce administrative burden and enhance patient care by providing consistent and accurate information.
NVIDIA Corporation has recently partnered with global consulting firm Deloitte to develop and deploy digital AI agents for healthcare applications. The initiative aims to enhance patient care by providing more consistent, accurate, and continuous access to information.
The partnership between NVIDIA and Deloitte involves the development of a digital AI agent called Frontline AI Teammate, which is designed to have natural, human-like conversations with patients before they visit the hospital for a surgical procedure. The virtual teammate can answer a wide range of questions and provide supporting guidance prior to preadmission appointments at hospitals.
The digital agent utilizes NVIDIA's AI Enterprise software platform, which powers avatars, generative AI, and large language models. This enables the agent to have practical conversations in any language that patients speak. Users can access the digital teammate using a smartphone, tablet or home computer, allowing them to receive reliable, pre-approved answers to detailed questions about their medical procedure.
According to Mathieu LeBreton, digital experience lead at The Ottawa Hospital, where the digital agent is being tested, the Frontline AI Teammate offers a novel and innovative solution to combat the healthcare human resource crisis. It has the potential to reduce administrative burden, giving back time to healthcare providers to provide quality care to patients.
The development of digital humans for healthcare applications can enhance experiences for doctors and patients. Developers can tap into NVIDIA's NIM microservices, which streamline the path for developing AI-powered applications and moving AI models into production. This enables the creation of interactive, AI-driven avatars that are ideal for telehealth applications.
In addition to NIM microservices, digital humans like James use NVIDIA ACE and ElevenLabs technologies to provide natural, low-latency responses. The avatar can handle tasks such as scheduling appointments, filling out intake forms and answering questions about upcoming health services. This makes healthcare services more efficient and accessible to patients.
The development of Frontline AI Teammate is part of a larger effort by NVIDIA and Deloitte to deploy digital agents in various settings, including hospitals. A patient-facing pilot with The Ottawa Hospital is expected to go live by the end of the year.
Developers can get started by accessing the digital human NIM Agent Blueprint. This blueprint provides an easily adaptable framework for creating interactive, AI-driven avatars that are ideal for healthcare applications.
The partnership between NVIDIA and Deloitte demonstrates the potential for AI-powered solutions in healthcare. By leveraging NVIDIA's advanced technologies, Deloitte has developed a digital agent that can provide more consistent and accurate information to patients, reducing pre-procedure anxiety and enhancing overall patient care.
