ISLAMABAD: A US-based health tech firm founded by Pakistani American trauma surgeon Dr. Adil Haider announced on Tuesday it had launched “Hami,” the world’s first artificial intelligence-powered physician assistant to enable personalized, evidence-driven patient care to people.

Boston Health AI announced that Hami functions as an interactive AI-powered physician assistant that streamlines medical intake by actively listening to patients, gathering their complete health stories, including past illnesses and concerns. It is equipped with features such as a real-time AI-enabled ambient scribe, which enables Hami to listen, transcribe, and intelligently format physician-patient conversations into structured notes.

Boston Health AI is a US-based health tech firm founded in 2024 by Dr. Haider which describes itself as a “passionate team of innovators, clinicians, health care professionals and technologists re-imagining how health care is delivered.”

Hami, which supports multilingual input and delivers language-agnostic experiences, is currently in active deployment across multiple hospitals in Pakistan and will expand globally over the coming year, the firm said.

“With Hami, we’re using the power of AI to break barriers and support physicians in delivering expert level care to every patient, whether they’re in Boston or Badin,” Dr. Haider said in a press release issued by Boston Health AI. “It’s a reimagining of what accessible, intelligent and physician-empowered health care can look like at scale.”
