Healthcare tech company to add 100 jobs following success of AI-powered bot

After seeing success from its AI-powered healthcare bot, Ohio-based healthcare technology company Olive is planning to add 100 tech jobs within the next two years, according to a report by Columbus Business First.

Olive’s healthcare robot leverages AI to automate repetitive healthcare administrative tasks, like scheduling and checking insurance eligibility. Sales for the company’s robot have topped about $10 million after several large hospitals signed on to use the service, according to the report.

In the spring of 2017, the company had roughly 60 employees and climbed to about 80 by the end of the year. Jobs it plans to add include skilled software and robotic process automation engineers, product management, marketing, sales and customer support.
