Explore a comprehensive framework for integrating AI into clinical practice ensuring trust, compliance and real-world impact.
Highlights from Aidoc CEO Elad Walach’s appearance on the “Where AI Works” podcast.
Every year, nearly 800,000 Americans are harmed by diagnostic errors, a number so staggering it demands more than better tools; it demands a better system. For Elad Walach, CEO and co-founder of Aidoc, that’s the core challenge AI is poised to solve.
In a recent episode of “Where AI Works,” hosted by Wharton School’s Serguei Netessine, Walach shares what it takes to transform healthcare with AI — not just in theory but in real-world hospital environments.
“If you build it, they will come — that is not true in healthcare,” Walach says. “You also have to prove the value of your technology and be able to extract it.”
That thinking has shaped Aidoc’s strategy from the beginning. Rather than try to force AI into outdated billing models, Aidoc focuses on impact by tracking key performance indicators for patients, providers and health systems. Value isn’t assumed; it’s measured. Not just in the headline moments but in overlooked opportunities like incidental findings.
This feedback loop, across clinical, operational and financial outcomes, is what enables real adoption and sustainable scale.
Aidoc’s approach evolved beyond developing isolated point solutions, Walach explains. With a unified platform, like the Aidoc aiOS™, that integrates across departments and workflows, hundreds of use cases can be supported from a single entry point.
In the near future, the key to that scale of coverage is foundation models, which are pretrained on diverse data types, adaptable across conditions and optimized for broad generalization. But the model is only part of the equation.
The platform is what delivers that intelligence at the point of care, orchestrates action in real time and ensures AI performs consistently under clinical and regulatory oversight.
As Walach notes, that’s the future: AI that isn’t siloed but system-wide.
