The healthcare sector is witnessing a rapid shift from generic AI assistants to specialized tools grounded in personal health data and clinical workflows. Perplexity’s partnership with b.well Connected Health allows users to link their medical records directly to the search engine. This integration enables the AI to provide answers rooted in a patient's specific history—such as past medications or lab results—rather than relying on generalized web information. Users retain full control over data access, reflecting a growing emphasis on privacy in consumer-facing medical AI.

Simultaneously, Lumeris is pushing the boundaries of clinical intelligence with Ask Tom, an agentic analytics platform designed for primary care. By synthesizing clinical, claims, and pharmacy data, the system allows health leaders to query complex performance metrics using natural language. The platform’s agentic nature means it doesn’t just wait for questions; it actively monitors data to detect anomalies and surface improvement opportunities. This move aims to alleviate the mounting pressure on primary care systems facing significant physician shortages.

This technological push aligns with shifting physician attitudes captured in a recent Doximity study. Adoption among doctors jumped 16 points in less than a year, with nearly two-thirds of practitioners now integrating AI into their daily routines. While clinicians are leveraging AI for administrative tasks like voice-based documentation and prior authorizations, a significant 71% remain cautious about the accuracy of generated outputs. This underscores a critical trust gap that developers must bridge to ensure long-term clinical safety.
