Quote from the article
One page of the company’s website compares a human nurse’s $90 per hour salary to an AI agent’s $9 an-hour running costs. Hippocratic claims its AI nurses outperform human nurses regarding bedside manner, education, and narrowly miss on satisfaction, according to a survey.
I don’t know of any tele-triage nurses that get paid $90 an hour. Moreover bedside manner does not equal telephone/video demeanor.
General rule of thumb is front loaded cost for W2 full-time workers is 1.5 to 2 times salary. So 50/hr may run 90/hr billed.
Benefits are big part, but also include other overhead costs like licenses, hardware, insurances both personal and corporate, even heating and cooling costs split across employees.
A lot of overhead would still apply. Probably not licenses
