Medicine has a well-established model for distributing liability across physicians and tools: whoever caused the failure bears the liability. AI vendors have quietly opted out of it — and the contracts they're asking health systems to sign reflect that.

OpenAI and Anthropic both launched enterprise healthcare AI offerings last month. OpenAI's is more complete — a ready-to-use product for clinicians plus an API for developers. Anthropic's is developer-focused, with connectors to healthcare databases like CMS and ICD-10. Both will eventually offer the full stack. The question is what you need now.

Current AI health tools share the same flaw as traditional healthcare: they're episodic, not continuous. OpenClaw — a nerdy new tool that’s shot to 2 million users in nothing flat — shows us what comes next: AI assistants that monitor your health 24/7, cross-reference data sources, and act on your behalf without being asked.
