The amount of healthcare data is huge. But the type and difficulty of this data make it harder to use. Patients create data from many places: electronic health records (EHRs), lab tests, imaging, genetic testing, clinical notes, and prescriptions. These types of data are stored in different systems that do not work well together. This causes fragmentation.
This fragmentation makes it hard for doctors to see all patient information when they need to make decisions quickly and correctly. For example, cancer doctors might only have 15 to 30 minutes to check test results, imaging, biopsy reports, and medication history during a visit. This short time can cause stress, make care plans harder to arrange, and delay patient treatment. About 25% of cancer patients miss their care appointments because of system problems with managing and coordinating their treatments.
Doctors and staff spend a lot of time collecting this mixed data by hand. This adds stress and can lead to burnout. In big hospitals, many departments like oncology, radiology, and labs need to work together. But poor communication happens often. These problems not only affect patient care but also increase costs and huge paperwork for staff.
Agentic AI is a new type of artificial intelligence that works independently and with goals. It can interact, think, and adjust to complex data. Unlike old AI models that do one job, agentic AI uses large language models (LLMs) and multi-modal models to handle many types of healthcare data.
These AI agents are active and can perform tasks by themselves. They keep track of context and work with other AI agents that focus on different data types. One agent looks at biochemical markers, another looks at radiology images, and another reviews pathology reports. A main agent combines the results and gives useful clinical advice.
For example, in cancer treatment, special agents look at clinical notes, molecular markers like BRCA1/2 and PSA, radiology images, and biopsy results separately. Then, they work together to create treatment plans with chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. This process helps create a smooth workflow that fits into the EHR system.
One big need in healthcare is to cut down paperwork that tires out doctors and staff. Agentic AI automates workflows to improve operations and support decisions.
Agentic AI needs cloud computing that is safe and can grow easily. Companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS) provide this base for AI in healthcare.
AWS services like S3 for storage, DynamoDB for databases, KMS for encryption, and Fargate for running programs give the tech needed to safely handle large healthcare data. Amazon Bedrock helps AI agents remember past info and coordinate tasks. This helps manage care over time, especially for long-term illnesses.
Using cloud services also makes AI solutions faster to set up. Dan Sheeran says building complex AI systems used to take months. Now, cloud tools cut that time to days, helping bring AI to many clinics faster.
With agentic AI, healthcare groups across the US can improve patient care and running of practices.
Doctors get real-time insights that help with complex cases like cancer or heart problems. Medical knowledge grows fast, doubling every 73 days. AI helps combine that knowledge with patient data to suggest good, up-to-date treatment plans quickly.
Practice owners and IT managers see better workflow, scheduling, risk checks, and rule following. These improvements cut costs from repeated work, missed visits, and treatment delays. With less manual work, staff can spend more time helping patients.
Agentic AI is not only for big hospitals. It also helps smaller clinics and places with few resources. Using data and tools well can improve care access and quality everywhere.
Agentic AI offers useful solutions for US healthcare by fixing problems like data in separate parts, too much data to handle, and workflow issues. It joins many types of healthcare data with independent AI agents that work together. This helps doctors make better decisions, cut paperwork, and improve care coordination.
Supported by safe and scalable cloud technology like AWS, agentic AI systems are becoming practical tools for medical staff and managers. These tools help improve healthcare in a world with lots of data.
Agentic AI systems address cognitive overload, care plan orchestration, and system fragmentation faced by clinicians. They help process multi-modal healthcare data, coordinate across departments, and automate complex logistics to reduce inefficiencies and clinician burnout.
By 2025, over 180 zettabytes of data will be generated globally, with healthcare contributing more than one-third. Currently, only about 3% of healthcare data is effectively used due to inefficient systems unable to scale multi-modal data processing.
Agentic AI systems are proactive, goal-driven, and adaptive. They use large language models and foundational models to process vast datasets, maintain context, coordinate multi-agent workflows, and provide real-time decision-making support across multiple healthcare domains.
Specialized agents independently analyze clinical notes, molecular data, biochemistry, radiology, and biopsy reports. They autonomously retrieve supplementary data, synthesize evaluations via a coordinating agent, and generate treatment recommendations stored in EMRs, streamlining multidisciplinary cooperation.
Agentic AI automates appointment prioritization by balancing urgency and available resources. Reactive agents integrate clinical language processing to trigger timely scheduling of diagnostics like MRIs, while compatibility agents prevent procedure risks by cross-referencing device data such as pacemaker models.
They integrate data from diagnostics and treatment modules, enabling theranostic sessions that combine therapy and diagnostics. Treatment planning agents synchronize multi-modal therapies (chemotherapy, surgery, radiation) with scheduling to optimize resources and speed patient care.
AWS services such as S3, DynamoDB, VPC, KMS, Fargate, ALB, OIDC/OAuth2, CloudFront, CloudFormation, and CloudWatch enable secure, scalable, encrypted data storage, compute hosting, identity management, load balancing, and real-time monitoring necessary for agentic AI systems.
Human-in-the-loop ensures clinical validation of AI outputs, detecting false information and maintaining safety. It combines robust detection systems with expert oversight, supporting transparency, auditability, and adherence to clinical protocols to build trust and reliability.
Amazon Bedrock accelerates building coordinating agents by enabling memory retention, context maintenance, asynchronous task execution, and retrieval-augmented generation. It facilitates seamless orchestration of specialized agents’ workflows, ensuring continuity and personalized patient care.
Future integrations include connecting MRI and personalized treatment tools for custom radiotherapy dosimetry, proactive radiation dose monitoring, and system-wide synchronization breaking silos. These advancements aim to further automate care, reduce delays, and enhance precision and safety.
