Hami: World’s First AI Physician Assistant Launched by Pakistani-American Surgeon Dr. Adil Haider

In a groundbreaking development, Boston Health AI, a US-based health tech firm founded by Pakistani-American trauma surgeon Dr. Adil Haider, has officially launched ‘Hami’, the world’s first AI-powered physician assistant, aimed at revolutionizing global healthcare access and delivery.

Currently deployed across multiple hospitals in Pakistan, Hami will scale globally in the coming year, offering advanced, evidence-driven, personalized medical support to millions of patients.

What is Hami?

Hami is an interactive, multilingual, AI-powered medical assistant designed to:

  • Streamline patient intake by actively listening to patients
  • Gather complete health histories, including past illnesses and symptoms
  • Transcribe and structure real-time physician-patient conversations using an ambient scribe AI
  • Generate evidence-based, clinical recommendations
  • Provide after-visit summaries to improve patient understanding and adherence to care plans

With language-agnostic support, Hami is designed to be equally effective in rural clinics and global hospitals, making it a powerful tool in bridging the healthcare gap.

Mission to Transform Global Healthcare

Dr. Haider, who has also served as Dean of Aga Khan University Medical College, emphasized Hami’s mission:

“With Hami, we’re using the power of AI to break barriers and support physicians in delivering expert-level care to every patient, whether they’re in Boston or Badin.”

He noted that the AI system is built to reduce physicians’ administrative workload, improve the quality of consultations, and support physician efficiency.

Targeting Global Healthcare Challenges

According to the World Health Organization, the global shortfall of healthcare professionals is expected to exceed 11 million by 2030. In Pakistan alone, over 87 million people lack access to essential healthcare services.

Boston Health AI aims to bridge this critical gap.

“Through Hami, we aim to reach and improve the lives of 1 billion patients worldwide,” said Dr. Haider.

Security & Data Compliance

Hami is fully compliant with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) in the US and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in the EU, ensuring patient data privacy and confidentiality at the highest standards.

Conclusion: AI Revolutionizing Healthcare

Hami is a pioneering example of how AI can reshape the global healthcare landscape, especially in underserved regions. Its early deployment in Pakistan’s healthcare system signals a strong step toward scalable, accessible, and intelligent medical care for all.
