Nichols explains how agentic AI differs from traditional chatbots, shares real-world examples, and explores how these capabilities could transform healthcare by enabling proactive, concierge-like support for patients. The discussion also touches on opportunities in pharma, from regulatory compliance to accelerating clinical trials and drug discovery.
