Nvidia and Startup Offer $9 per Hour AI Nurses Amid Nursing Shortage Controversy
-
Nvidia is working with Hippocratic AI to offer AI-powered "nurses" for $9 per hour that can provide services like screenings, medication management, and companionship.
-
The AI nurses are being tested by over 40 healthcare companies and can supposedly handle "low-risk" patient calls.
-
Hippocratic AI's website showcases various AI nurses with different personalities that can assist with procedures, chronic conditions, nutrition, assessments, etc.
-
There are concerns about trusting AI with medical issues and if it can provide the same level of care and compassion as human nurses.
-
While presented as a solution to the nursing shortage crisis, cheap AI nurses don't address underlying issues like hospital cost-cutting that have led to poor working conditions and low wages.
