How Agentic AI Can Reshape Clinical Workflows With: Harvey Castro
Harvey Castro, Partner and Medical AI Advisor at Aexa Tech, explores how agentic AI could transform clinical workflows for healthcare providers. He envisions digital twins of physicians that replicate their knowledge, creativity, and warmth, enabling autonomous consultations even during off-hours. These AI agents could collaborate, interpret medical records, and provide decision support while still requiring human oversight to validate outputs and prevent errors. Castro also imagines agentic AI integrated with wearable devices and smart glasses to deliver real-time updates, mentorship-like knowledge sharing, and global best-practice dissemination. He argues that agentic AI can reduce bottlenecks, lower costs, and improve efficiency, creating scalable expertise pools for providers.
