AI-Powered Platform Supports Hospitals Turning Best Practices into Actual Practice with Dr. Galia Schwarz C8 Health TRANSCRIPT
Episode 34
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
Dr. Galia Schwarz, CEO and Co-Founder of C8 Health, has developed a platform that addresses the gap between hospital best practices and their implementation across all departments. This approach consolidates medical knowledge from numerous disconnected systems and uses AI to proactively deliver relevant information to a clinician. C8 Health does not create best practices; it ensures that a hospital's vetted standards are communicated consistently to provide optimal patient care. Galia explains, "Hospitals are struggling to implement their best practices effectively, or in other words, control the quality and cost of care delivery. And let me explain this. There is tons of medical knowledge out there, and now with AI coming into our lives, there is even more. And hospitals create this knowledge through clinical trials, or they license this knowledge through platforms like Open Evidence or UpToDate. And every hospital takes these global best practices and turns them into local best practices, things like protocols, guidelines, procedures, and educational content. Any type of knowledge whose purpose is to ensure that standards of care are met. But I haven't met one hospital that knows how to take these best practices and turn them into actual practice, and this is what we allow them to do." "So first of all, on a conceptual level, our platform consolidates fragmented knowledge across departments or sites into a single source and uses AI to surface the right guidance at the right moment based on the clinician's role, schedule, and patient context. So, for example, we can create an experience where we say, "Hi, Dr. X. Tomorrow you are scheduled for OR number eight. You have these four procedures. At 8:00 AM, you have a CABG procedure. These are the best practices of your hospital for this procedure. This is what changed since the last time you did this procedure. These are the people who are going to be with you in the OR." #C8Health #HealthTech #AIinHealthcare #MedicalInnovation #PatientSafety #DigitalHealth #HealthcareTransformation #MedicalErrors #BestPractices #ClinicalExcellence #HealthcareAI #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #OpenAI C8health.com Listen to the podcast here
