As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape industries, healthcare remains pivotal. While many health systems have attempted to implement AI through point solutions—single-use applications that address specific needs—these fragmented tools often fail to deliver lasting value. The real potential of AI lies in a platform approach, where a unified system can repurpose AI capabilities across multiple functions, streamlining care delivery and operational efficiency at scale.
At the forefront of this transformation is Andor Health, whose AI-first ThinkAndor® platform eliminates the inefficiencies of point-based AI solutions. According to Pritesh Patel, Chief Operating Officer of Andor Health, by scaling across a healthcare system, ThinkAndor’s® AI enables organisations to extend its benefits beyond single-use cases, unlocking new opportunities in clinical workflow orchestration, ambient documentation and enhanced AI vision capabilities.
Why Point Solutions Fall Short
The healthcare industry has seen cycles of adopting and replacing fragmented technologies, which have struggled to provide sustainable ROI. Many health systems initially implemented healthcare applications as a point solution, only to realise that managing disparate systems created more complexity rather than reducing it. The advent of AI-based point solutions puts healthcare organisations in a similar place – implementing singular AI features rather than a platform for the last scale. This approach places systems in the same situation as before.
A platform approach, on the other hand, allows AI-enhanced use cases to be systematically deployed across an entire health system, creating a framework for scale and innovation. Once AI is approved and implemented at scale, it can be responsibly repurposed for use cases, providing a centralised and unified agent that enhances efficiency across various functions.
