How Duke Is Building AI That Actually Works in Healthcare | Matt Cox, Duke Health Healthcare does not need more AI hype. It needs AI that can survive clinical reality: compliance, governance, patient safety, workflow, physician adoption, and the brutal operational pressure every health system is facing. In this episode of Boombostic Health , Bradley Bostic sits down live at ViVE 2026 with Matt Cox , Executive Director for Digital Value Creation at Duke Health, to unpack how Duke is moving from AI experimentation to real-world clinical impact. Matt shares how Duke is building its own AI capabilities, including the Scout LLM platform , to safely support use cases across the health system - from clinical research and chart review to virtual nursing, ambient documentation, operational efficiency, and clinician burnout. The standout example: Duke used Scout to review 200 pancreatic cancer patient charts in less than two hours - work that would typically take a PA or nurse practitioner one to two weeks. That is not theoretical AI. That is capacity creation. That is clinicians working at the top of their license. That is the future healthcare actually needs.
