Epic’s Garrett Adams Discusses Emmie with CNN’s Jen Christensen

Emmie, Epic’s AI for patients, is available directly within MyChart and is being adopted by a growing number of health systems.
As millions of Americans increasingly turn to AI chatbots for health questions, Epic’s Emmie AI for patients offers built-in safeguards. Emmie helps patients understand complex medical information, schedule appointments, and get answers to their billing questions—all from within the secure MyChart patient portal, where it can ground its answers in the patient’s actual health history.
Epic’s Garrett Adams describes Emmie as “an extension of the care team that strengthens the connection to their provider rather than supplant it,” adding that the tool is built to recognize when a question should be escalated to a human rather than answered by AI.
