  • Health AI in 2026: The Definitive Guide to Big Tech Strategies
    Feb 26 2026

    The definitive 2026 Health AI strategy audit. Discover which Big Tech players, OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or Microsoft, are actually aiming to solve clinical problems and which are just shipping marketing.


    We perform a dispassionate clinical audit of the global Health AI landscape for 2026. We move beyond the hype to analyse the "moats" and "missions" of the major players, from OpenAI’s consumer-led personal health ally to Anthropic’s infrastructure-first approach with MCP. We critique the incrementalism in some research, the secrecy of Microsoft’s enterprise play, and the vertical integration of Amazon’s agentic systems. Finally, we outline a vision for "AI by design" that replaces medieval medical workflows with continuous, decentralised care.

  • Heidi Acquires Automedica and Rolls Out New Products
    Feb 25 2026

    Discover how Heidi Health’s acquisition of Automedica is bringing ad-free, NICE-compliant clinical reasoning directly into your consultations.


    In this episode, we consider Heidi Health’s strategic shift from a simple AI medical scribe to a comprehensive "AI Care Partner." By acquiring UK-based Automedica and launching Heidi Evidence and Heidi Comms, the platform now integrates real-time, RAG-based clinical guidelines (NICE, BMJ, MIMS) and patient coordination tools into a single, ad-free workflow. We explore the technical benefits of Anthropic’s Claude models and the regulatory significance of the MHRA AI Airlock for the NHS.


    Key Takeaways:

    - Understand the difference between standard LLMs and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for medical guidelines.

    - The strategic importance of the MHRA AI Airlock for safe clinical AI implementation in the UK.

    - Why the "Single Interface" strategy is the next evolution in reducing clinician burnout and portal fatigue.
