AI Agents in Healthcare?

About this episode

Kingsley Madikaegbu discusses the implementation of agentic AI in healthcare with Alex Salkever, focusing on compliance and patient data management.

Kingsley Madikaegbu is the founder of HealID , a startup building agentic AI on top of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for one of the most heavily regulated environments there is: healthcare. Recorded at MCP Dev Summit North America in New York, Kingsley sits down with Alex Salkever of the Agentic AI Foundation to break down how you give patients, doctors, caregivers, and family members each their own agent over the same medical record — without breaching HIPAA, leaking PHI, or letting an agent quietly go off the rails. In this conversation:🏗️ The four-layer architecture — Dumb data at the bottom, then access permissions, then MCP, then reasoning agents on top. Why logic never touches the data layer.🔐 MCP vs REST — Why enforcing per-role compliance in a REST API meant encoding permissions everywhere, and how MCP collapses that mess.🪪 HIPAA, auditability & traceability — Proving a specific person (not a snooping agent) accessed a record, with a full audit trail that regulators actually accept.🎟️ The nightclub-bouncer analogy — How MCP reorganizes the entire "club" per guest instead of just checking a VIP list.⌚ Wearables & real-world data — Turning an Apple Watch…
