#754: Accelerating Healthcare Decisions with Agents

In this episode, AWS host Jillian Ford talks with Gigi Yuen, Chief Data & AI Officer, and Kenji Fujita, Staff AI Platform Engineer at Cohere Health about using AI agents to streamline healthcare administration. They explain how Cohere Health tackles the $500 billion waste from low‑value administrative tasks by building trustworthy, hallucination‑free AI that automates prior authorizations while keeping clinicians in the loop. The guests emphasize an evaluation‑driven development process, strict data‑use rights, and the importance of early domain‑expert involvement, and they detail why they chose Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock Agent Core for rapid, secure, and compliant agent deployment.
