Use cases David identifies four areas facilitating healthcare’ s evolution from isolated AI applications to AI-native systems, with the next chapter of healthcare AI revolving around orchestration. In other words, ensuring agents, robots, devices and workflows work together in harmony. The four impact areas David identifies are:
1. Agentic AI – Hospitals are moving beyond standalone AI tools toward coordinated AI systems that can reason, plan and act across clinical and operational workflows. Rather than supporting a single task like documentation or scheduling, specialised AI agents will increasingly help coordinate care, streamline workflows and assist clinicians across the patient journey.

2. Physical AI – Physical AI brings intelligence out of the screen and into the clinical environment. Healthcare has enormous operational demands that do not require clinical judgment but still consume valuable staff time, and collaborative robots are beginning to support nursing teams, automate logistics and assist in surgical environments, freeing clinicians to spend more time with patients. Surgical robotics leaders are already using NVIDIA healthcare physical-AI tools to train, test and validate next-generation systems before deployment.
