In June this year, Larry Ellison, the billionaire co-founder of Oracle Corporation, said during the second quarter earnings call that Oracle Health was building AI agents into its EHR system that would be the envy of the technology world. He added that Oracle was working on agentic AI across its business lines, such as healthcare, and aims to add customers from other tech companies that got out of the AI business. Ellison further highlighted:

“Oracle was using the most modern application generators and AI database technology to build their application suite, adding AI and analytics using OpenAI, xAI, Google, Llama and other popular LLMs on top of that application data. No other company is even attempting to build the depth and breadth of AI-based applications like us.”

According to media platform, Becker’s Healthcare, voice-activated AI will reportedly be a big part of the new EHR Oracle Health is developing.

Intuitive Surgical Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG), a firm that develops, manufactures, and markets products that enable physicians and healthcare providers to enhance the quality of and access to minimally invasive care, is another company that is aggressively integrating AI into the healthcare business. The firm recently introduced updates to the popular robotic surgery system named da Vinci 5. The system enables surgeons on two different sides of the world to collaborate on a surgery, pointing to a future where advanced surgeries can reach patients globally without the need for travel.
