We have agency to increase not just the years we are alive, but the number of years we live in good health. Overseas, this potential is exploding: patients are stepping out of doctors’ rooms and into the agentic promise of preventative medicine, biometric testing and tracking, AI enhanced insight and precision treatments.

Now it’s South Africa’s turn: welcome to Agentic Health. The name has a double meaning. Agency, because you have to look after yourself. Agentic because the right tech can help you. The road ahead is a combination of human and machine intelligence, aimed at the same goal: more good, healthy years.

My name is Eve Dmochowska, and Agentic Health is my umbrella platform to explore, discuss and build agentic health solutions for South Africa.
