The new darling word ‘AI agents’ popping up more frequently, now even in healthcare. Given we’re in a crypto-focused community, I’m curious how this intersects with the technology we follow here. Specifically, can AI agents make a meaningful difference in healthcare beyond being another buzzword?

From what I understand, these agents could help automate repetitive admin tasks, analyze patient data to improve diagnostic accuracy, and provide more personalized care plans. That sounds great in theory, but healthcare involves highly sensitive information. This is where crypto and blockchain tech might come into play—secure, decentralized storage of medical records could ensure data integrity and privacy, while smart contracts might transparently manage consent and data sharing.

The big question, though, is how effectively these AI agents and underlying tech integrate into existing healthcare systems. Do they blend seamlessly, or create new friction points? And how well do these solutions handle compliance and regulations around patient privacy?

In short, I’m wondering if crypto-based infrastructure can give AI agents the secure, trustworthy environment they need to truly improve healthcare. Anyone have thoughts on this, or examples of projects blending AI agents with blockchain solutions?
