This student is using AI to give doctors more time with their patients His co-op work reduces labor-intensive hospital procedures with the goal of giving doctors and nurses more time for care-giving. Founded in 2024, Penguin AI uses generative AI to reduce inefficiencies in the healthcare industry that can hamper doctors’ time with their patients. “A lot of workflows are very manual-oriented work and are done by nurses and doctors,” Sreeramagiri said, who interned remotely at the Bay Area company. “These take up a lot of time, and using AI really helps nurses and doctors tend to their patients more, instead of putting more focus on administrative burden.” “I was talking to a lot of people in the product team, the engineering team, the AI team, and also the medical team … and acted like a bridge to fix issues and communicate with [all] sides,” he said.
