Hami, developed by US-based health tech firm Boston Health AI, has officially launched as the world’s first AI-powered physician assistant. Built to deliver personalized, multilingual, and evidence-based care, Hami is already operational in multiple hospitals across Pakistan, with plans to expand internationally. The platform is designed not just for speed and efficiency, but for human-centered, inclusive healthcare delivery.
Conceived during a period of growing pressure on global healthcare systems, Hami addresses rising clinician burnout, workforce shortages, and barriers to care in underserved communities. The platform is built by physicians and engineers with the goal of delivering intelligent and scalable clinical support. Unlike traditional hospital AI tools, Hami is engaged from the first patient interaction to post-visit follow-up, focusing entirely on patient care instead of administrative operations.
The founder of Boston Health AI, Dr. Adil Haider, is a Pakistani-origin trauma surgeon and former Dean of Aga Khan University Medical College. He has also served at Harvard and Johns Hopkins. Dr. Haider emphasized that Hami’s core purpose is to make healthcare equitable, saying the technology aims to bridge disparities in medical access whether patients are in developed cities or rural districts. According to him, the objective is to support physicians in delivering expert-level care, regardless of geography or socioeconomic conditions.
Hami works by using natural language processing and multimodal diagnostic capabilities. During a consultation, the platform’s AI-driven ambient scribe listens in, transcribes the conversation, and formats it into structured SOAP notes. It can connect with laboratory systems, provide clinical recommendations, and generate summaries for patients after their visits. These features ease administrative load on physicians while improving the quality of patient consultations. The interactive after-visit summaries also help patients adhere more effectively to their treatment plans.
In Pakistan, where over 87 million people still lack access to essential care, the system presents a timely intervention. Hami is positioned as a solution to meet challenges of long wait times, rushed consultations, and inconsistent follow-up, which are prevalent in under-resourced environments. The World Health Organization estimates a global shortfall of 11 million healthcare workers by 2030, making such AI-enabled systems increasingly relevant.
Boston Health AI was co-founded in 2024 by Dr. Haider in partnership with Systems Limited and U.S.-based venture studio C10 Labs. Asif Peer, CEO and Managing Director of Systems Limited, also played a key role in shaping the platform. He shared that by combining strong engineering with clinical insight, they aim to improve healthcare delivery while building room for innovation across sectors.
Hami is compliant with HIPAA and GDPR regulations, ensuring secure and privacy-focused handling of medical data. Its multilingual capabilities allow it to operate in diverse linguistic environments, supporting broader global scalability. With active deployment in Pakistan and expansion plans underway, Boston Health AI envisions Hami reaching up to 1 billion patients worldwide, redefining access and quality in clinical care.
