Morristown, N.J.-based Atlantic Health has launched Atlantic Health PatientGPT, a clinical AI tool built with K Health that helps patients understand symptoms and connects them directly to system clinicians.
PatientGPT integrates with Atlantic Health’s EHR and patient portal, drawing on each patient’s medical profile to deliver personalized responses rather than generic search results. The tool can route patients to same-day, same-hour virtual primary care appointments when clinical follow-up is needed. The platform is launching in a beta phase and will roll out gradually across New Jersey over the coming months.
“The best use of AI in healthcare makes care more human, not less,” said Saad Ehtisham, president and CEO of Atlantic Health, in a news release. “Technology should strengthen the connection between patients and clinicians, reduce barriers to care, and help people get the right care at the right time.”
The eight-hospital system announced the tool Aug. 11 alongside another new offering, Atlantic Health Virtual Primary Care.
Atlantic Health joins Hartford HealthCare and Penn Medicine among health systems that have deployed K Health’s clinical AI platform, with New York City-based K Health citing Mass General Brigham, Mayo Clinic, Northwell Health, Novant Health, Cedars-Sinai and Hackensack Meridian Health as additional partners. K Health said its AI has powered more than 4 million patient visits.
