# Hippocratic AI CEO Details Post-Discharge Agent Calls

*[Hippocratic AI](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/company/103719830) co-founder and CEO [Munjal Shah](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/person/106773159) described how the company's agents handle patient outreach after discharge, according to a published account. The agent identifies itself as AI, states the purpose of the call, and walks the patient through that day's instructions — for example, day three of a knee replacement recovery, when a bandage change is due — then calls again the next day because the following day's instructions differ.*

The account contrasts that cadence with typical hospital practice, which it says involves a single call after discharge rather than seven. Shah framed the effort as complementary to nursing staff rather than a replacement for it.

The discussion touches on staffing and prior authorization themes alongside the technology itself. No specific health system customers, deployment figures, or clinical outcomes were disclosed in the source material.
