Your health could soon be in the hands of Nvidia-powered AI nurses, and they cost your healthcare provider next to nothing.

Quote from the article

One page of the company’s website compares a human nurse’s $90 per hour salary to an AI agent’s $9 an-hour running costs. Hippocratic claims its AI nurses outperform human nurses regarding bedside manner, education, and narrowly miss on satisfaction, according to a survey.

I don’t know of any tele-triage nurses that get paid $90 an hour. Moreover bedside manner does not equal telephone/video demeanor.

    General rule of thumb is front loaded cost for W2 full-time workers is 1.5 to 2 times salary. So 50/hr may run 90/hr billed.

    Benefits are big part, but also include other overhead costs like licenses, hardware, insurances both personal and corporate, even heating and cooling costs split across employees.

      A lot of overhead would still apply. Probably not licenses
