New purpose-built models, inspired by medical residency,
tackle rising distractions and "pilot paralysis" from healthcare's
increasing reliance on general-purpose AI
NEW
YORK, Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report
from Corti and YouGov has revealed that a third of U.S. healthcare
professionals using AI are spending up to three additional hours
weekly correcting it. This revelation comes as Corti today
announced a breakthrough approach to healthcare AI: specialized
foundation models designed and trained to help AI deliver on its
original promise to healthcare - to make time for patients, not
take it away.
The announcement comes at a pivotal moment for healthcare AI
adoption. While 74 percent of healthcare professionals in
Europe support AI use in practice,
52 percent say they wouldn't feel confident using current AI
solutions in their work. This crisis of confidence has contributed
to what industry experts call "pilot paralysis" - widespread AI
trials that fail to advance beyond testing due to accuracy, cost,
and integration challenges.
"We could be entering a golden age of healthcare AI, with over
60 apps now focused on scribing alone," said Lars Maaloe,
co-founder and CTO of Corti. "It's exciting progress, but many of
these tools rely on general-purpose AI that isn't built to
integrate or adapt to the complexities of healthcare. At Corti,
we've developed specialized infrastructure and APIs that empower
these apps to go further - enabling them to deliver smarter, more
reliable solutions that can adapt to clinicians' needs."
Today's announcement introduces three specialized models, built
on nine years of peer-reviewed research and trained exclusively on
healthcare data. Together, Corti's foundation models form the most
powerful and adaptable AI infrastructure in healthcare - delivering
faster, more concise, accurate, and cost-efficient performance than
the leading Large Language Models on the market (see comparison
to GPT-4).
High-performing across multiple languages and medical
specialties, Corti's AI complies with strict medical regulations,
offering transparency, explainability, and results that augment -
not replace - healthcare professionals. Inspired by medical
residency, the system adopts an "AI residency" approach: a training
process through human supervision that gradually takes on more
responsibility:
- Solo, a fast model with audio reasoning. Builds expert
clerk and transcription agents, handling complex medical
terminology in over 10 languages while integrating effortlessly
with existing systems
- Ensemble, a powerful model focused on exceptional
documentation. Builds agents that turn consultations into action,
transforming medical discussions into structured documentation that
is 25 percent more concise and more accurate than general-purpose
AI.
- Symphony, merging powerful reasoning with speed: Builds
agents for real-time clinical support, operating 35x faster than
GPT-4 and providing evidence-based insights during patient
consultations
In addition to these core models, customers can integrate up to
20 expert models that function like healthcare specialists -
purpose-built to build agents that tackle tasks like medical
coding, quality control, and summarization. This flexible
architecture ensures seamless integration into existing workflows,
helping healthcare systems leverage AI without the disruption or
uncertainty often caused by solutions wrapped around
general-purpose models.
"Just as we wouldn't let a medical student perform surgery
without proper training, we shouldn't trust AI systems that haven't
been specifically trained and validated for healthcare," said
Frederik Brabant, MD and Chief
Medical Strategy Officer at Corti. "When over half of healthcare
professionals say they wouldn't feel confident using current AI
solutions in their work, we know we need specialized solutions that
can build sector confidence and safely meet healthcare's unique
demands."
Professor Serge Belongie,
Director of the Danish Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence,
underscored the technical significance: "General-purpose AI has its
limits in the intricate, high-stakes world of healthcare. Corti's
dedication to building specialized models redefines what's
possible. By grounding their technology in healthcare-specific
training and rigorous validation, they've created systems that not
only meet but exceed the critical demands of AI for this field.
Their work is a testament to the power of domain-specific AI to
advance patient care and set a new benchmark for responsible and
effective innovation."
Seattle Fire Department
Assistant Chief Lombard, said, "As an early partner of Corti, we've
witnessed how their specialized healthcare AI transforms emergency
care. Their purpose-built technology has enabled us to increase
appropriate nurse triage referrals significantly, reducing pressure
on public safety while maintaining excellent patient care. This
evolution in their AI infrastructure reaffirms our choice of a
partner truly dedicated to healthcare."
"By 2030, we'll face a global shortage of 10 million healthcare
professionals and yet our study shows that today, a quarter
consider leaving their job every single week," added Andreas Cleve, Corti's co-founder and CEO. "We
can't afford AI solutions that create more complexities or increase
risk. The stakes are simply too high when it comes to patient care.
It's time to return to the roots of AI in healthcare, aim higher,
and set a new standard across the industry."
