Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Hippocratic AI have announced a global collaboration designed to reshape the biopharma and medtech sectors through the responsible deployment of generative AI health care agents. Through this partnership, both organizations aim to help life sciences companies move beyond experimentation and achieve tangible, enterprise-scale value from artificial intelligence.
Although biopharma and medtech firms continue to invest heavily in digital transformation, the return on AI initiatives remains limited for many. In fact, BCG benchmarks reveal that only a small share of companies consistently generate sustained value from AI. Against this backdrop, the new collaboration directly addresses this challenge by combining deep strategic expertise with purpose-built, safety-first AI technology.

At the core of the partnership, Hippocratic AI brings its advanced generative AI health care agents, which are specifically designed for highly regulated clinical and life sciences environments. To date, these agents have supported more than 150 million clinical interactions. Rather than replacing human professionals, they augment care teams by handling non-diagnostic, patient-facing clinical and operational activities. These include patient onboarding, medication adherence engagement, clinical trial coordination, and post-market follow-up.
Moreover, Hippocratic AI’s agents are powered by its proprietary Polaris Constellation architecture. As a result, they deliver consistent, empathetic, and safe performance at scale an essential requirement in health care settings where trust, compliance, and patient experience are critical.
On the other hand, BCG contributes its extensive C-suite advisory capabilities and AI transformation leadership. In particular, BCG’s Health Care Commercial AI by BCG X offering supports health care leaders as they modernize commercial models, strengthen omnichannel engagement, and drive measurable performance improvements. Additionally, BCG X, the firm’s technology build and design division, provides ongoing research, benchmark studies, and global executive roundtables that inform best practices for AI adoption across biopharma and medtech.
By bringing these strengths together, the collaboration aims to unlock value across the entire life sciences value chain from research and development to commercialization and post-market engagement.
“This collaboration is about closing the value gap in the industry by bringing together Hippocratic AI’s sophisticated AI agent platform, BCG’s strategy and governance expertise, and BCG X’s Health Care Commercial AI solution to help clients turn potential into measurable business value,” said Ashkan Afhkami, BCG managing director and senior partner and global leader for the Health Care practice at BCG X.
