Nvidia Wants to Replace Nurses With AI for $9 an Hour - eviltoast
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.

    Yes, it is exactly! And with my background of an entire family working in chemical manufacturing, I often equate the difference between nurses and doctors to the difference between front line operators and engineers.

    Nothing embarrasses me more than to call a doc just to be asked if I tried something that was really obvious and I should have tried before calling them. Or before I double checked and/or gathered all of the relevant information. Unless a patient is actively crashing to the point I’m calling in the entire cavalry, then I take the time to do my own job thoroughly before bothering someone else about it.
