NEW YORK, Aug. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CB Insights today named Hippocratic AI to its first annual GenAI 50 ranking, a list of the world’s top 50 most innovative companies developing generative AI applications and infrastructure across industries.
"Generative AI has created a paradigm shift in how companies innovate, and our first ever GenAI 50 cohort is leading the way,” said Deepashri Varadharajan, Director of AI research at CB Insights. “Together, they are pushing the boundaries of drug discovery, human-machine interfaces, database tech, and more. As this future seemingly unfolds before our eyes, I cannot wait to see what they accomplish next.”
“Our mission is to dramatically improve healthcare accessibility and health outcomes. Generative AI is the technology that will bring this vision to life,” said Munjal Shah, Co-Founder and CEO of Hippocratic AI. “We are building the first safety-focused large language model designed specifically for healthcare, leveraging generative AI to unlock and empower health workforces and give patients the best, safest possible experiences with their care. It is an honor to be recognized for our commitment to generative AI innovation alongside these other incredible startups.”
The CB Insights’ research team picked these 50 private market vendors using datasets, including R&D activity, proprietary Mosaic scores, business relationships, Yardstiq transcripts, investor profiles, news sentiment analysis, competitive landscape, and team strength - and criteria such as tech novelty and market potential.
Hippocratic AI is building the industry’s first safety-focused Large Language Model (LLM) designed specifically for healthcare, with an initial emphasis of non-diagnostic, patient-facing applications. To build a safer LLM, Hippocratic AI has implemented a multi-faceted approach in creating its product, including: outperforming GPT-4 on over 100 healthcare certifications, training on healthcare specific vocabulary, reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) via healthcare professionals, and working closely with industry experts to verify the model is truly safe.
