PALO ALTO, Calif., March 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hippocratic AI, the company building the first safety-focused Large Language Model (LLM) for healthcare, today announced the close of a $53 million Series A funding round at a $500 million valuation, bringing total funding to $120 million. Today, the company also released its first product for phase three safety testing: a staffing marketplace for healthcare where health systems, payors, and others can “hire” generative AI agents that complete low-risk, non-diagnostic, patient-facing healthcare tasks to help solve the massive shortage of healthcare nurses, social workers, and nutritionists in the US and worldwide.

加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托，2024年3月18日（环球通讯社）--希波克拉底人工智能（Hippocratic AI）是为医疗保健建立第一个以安全为中心的大型语言模型（LLM）的公司，今天宣布完成一轮5300万美元的a系列融资，估值为5亿美元，总资金达到1.2亿美元。今天，该公司还发布了第一个用于第三阶段安全测试的产品：医疗保健人员市场，卫生系统，付款人和其他人可以“雇用”生成性人工智能代理，完成低风险，非诊断性，面向患者的医疗保健任务，以帮助解决美国和全球医疗保健护士，社会工作者和营养学家的巨大短缺。

The new capital will be used to help fund these safety tests and further develop the product. The round was co-led by Premji Invest and General Catalyst with participation from SV Angel and Memorial Hermann Health System as well as existing investors Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) Bio + Health, Cincinnati Children’s, WellSpan Health, and Universal Health Services (UHS).

The company was founded on the belief that Generative AI holds the potential to improve healthcare access, equity, and outcomes but that it has to be developed and deployed safely and responsibly. The round was significantly oversubscribed, allowing the company to select lead investors who were patient enough to allow the company to prioritize safety over short-term revenue and profits.

该公司的成立是基于这样的信念，即生成性人工智能具有改善医疗服务获取，公平和结果的潜力，但它必须安全和负责任地开发和部署。这轮交易被大量超额认购，使得该公司能够选择足够耐心的主要投资者，使该公司能够将安全优先于短期收入和利润。
