Your Network Doesn’t Matter Anymore

For years, imaging workflows have depended on costly, closed networks to move information—where owning the “pipes” determines who controls the flow. Yet inside hospitals, staff still spend hours navigating portals, re-entering data and piecing together fragmented access across systems.

Agentic AI is changing that model.

In a new AuntMinnie op-ed, PocketHealth Co-Founder & CEO Rishi Nayyar explains why the real advantage no longer comes from network size, but from the intelligence layered on top. Agentic AI can safely operate through the same systems staff already use, without custom integrations or exclusive pathways.

Automation acts as the user and shifts the focus away from network-building and towards intelligent applications that make care safer, more transparent and better for both patients and care teams. That means faster access, lower operational overhead and a future where vendors compete on usability and insight—not the size of their network.

With health systems under growing pressure to do more with less, intelligent automation that works across disconnected systems is becoming critical infrastructure.
