Andor Health Expands ThinkAndor With Multimodal Agentic AI

United States – October 17, 2026 -- Andor Health has expanded ThinkAndor with multimodal agentic AI that runs voice-based and conversational patient interactions from initial access through post-acute follow-up, targeting the fragmented patient communication that drives call center costs and clinician workload.

ThinkAndor agents initiate and manage patient conversations

The agents start and manage conversations rather than waiting for patients to navigate portals, websites and phone systems. According to the announcement, they read patient context in real time, recommend next best actions and coordinate workflows behind the scenes.

Platform covers four stages of the care continuum

ThinkAndor's multimodal infrastructure orchestrates conversations across four stages:

Andor, Psynergy Launch AI-Run CMS ACCESS Clinic for Medicare Patients

United States – October 17, 2026 -- Andor Health and Psynergy Health have launched the ACCESS Clinic, an approved CMS ACCESS Model clinic that runs on the ThinkAndor® AI-native clinical services operating system and targets Medicare beneficiaries with chronic conditions. The platform behind it already operates across more than 40 health systems and supports over 20 million patients in nearly every U.S. state.

Platform results span 35 million AI interactions

ThinkAndor® AI agents have completed more than 35 million clinical and patient interactions. According to the companies, health systems using the platform have achieved:

Andor Health Hits CMS General Availability, Targets ACCESS Model

United States – October 17, 2026 -- Andor Health has reached General Availability in the CMS Health Technology Ecosystem initiative, with millions of patients across dozens of health systems already using its ThinkAndor® platform.

CMS recognized the company for patient-facing capabilities that ThinkAndor® has delivered since its inception. Patients use the platform to access care, retrieve health information, interact with Conversational AI, complete digital intake and connect with clinician-reviewed guidance.

Andor treats interoperability as infrastructure, not the outcome

Andor argues that a connected healthcare system is not necessarily a better one. Patients still face fragmented journeys, clinicians still spend significant time on coordination and administrative work, and health systems still assemble multiple vendors for different parts of care.

MUSC Virtual Nursing Scales to 57 Units, Frees 10.2 FTEs of Capacity

South Carolina – October 17, 2026 -- The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) expanded its virtual nursing program from five inpatient units to 57 units across four regions in about two and a half years, and estimates $2.4 million in savings from reduced nurse turnover on early adopter units, according to research from its Telehealth Center of Excellence.

MUSC program freed capacity equal to 10.2 full-time nurses

Across more than 23,500 virtual nursing encounters, the program generated capacity equivalent to approximately 10.2 full-time nursing positions. The program runs on the ThinkAndor® platform.

Of the bedside nurses surveyed, 87% reported a decrease in overall workload. Seventy-six percent said they spent less time documenting admissions and discharges, and 68% reported more time for patient rounding.

ThinkAndor RPM Lands in Epic Toolbox as AI-Native Clinical Service

United States – October 17, 2026 -- ThinkAndor® Remote Patient Monitoring is now available in Epic Toolbox under the Remote Patient Monitoring category, giving health systems an AI-native option that bundles connected devices, automation, workflow integration and clinical staffing.

ThinkAndor RPM prioritizes patients instead of adding to alert queues

The platform continuously analyzes incoming patient data to flag potential clinical concerns and rank patients who may need intervention. Clinicians keep responsibility for clinical judgment but no longer act as the first manual filter for every reading. The pitch targets a known failure point in RPM: more devices produce more readings, alerts and queues for already stretched teams.

Across transitional care workflows, Andor reports a 63% reduction in clinician time spent on non-clinical tasks per encounter and an 82% reduction in non-actionable monitoring alerts.
