OSF Healthcare, RapidAI Expand Enterprise AI Partnership

Aug. 10, 2026 — OSF HealthCare, a not-for-profit health system serving communities across Illinois and Michigan, and RapidAI have announced the expansion of the Rapid Enterprise  Platform to all 18 hospitals in the OSF Ministry. Building on an initial deployment at select sites, the expansion will give each OSF hospital access to an advanced platform built to analyze medical images, connect care teams, and support patient management across the patient journey.

RapidAI’s deep clinical AI provides automated measurements, disease characterization and advanced visualization, giving radiologists and clinicians a clearer, more complete picture of each patient’s condition. By automating parts of image analysis and delivering actionable clinical context, the platform helps OSF teams apply their expertise where it matters most, to make informed decisions and coordinate next steps. Keeping that information connected as patients move through the system helps reduce fragmentation and maintain continuity across the network.

OSF expanded the partnership after seeing measurable improvements in treatment times and more consistent identification of people who might have suffered a stroke and required intervention. The expansion builds on those results and a strategic partnership focused on deeper integration, enterprise governance, analytics, and ongoing optimization across its hospitals.

“Every community we serve should benefit from the same advanced technology, whether a patient enters one of our largest medical centers or a rural, critical access hospital,” said Arun Talkad, MD, a neurologist who directs stroke care at OSF HealthCare. “After seeing how RapidAI supported clinical decisions and patient care at select sites, we saw the opportunity to add more AI solutions to the platform and extend that value across all hospitals, strengthening access to specialty expertise and helping us deliver high-quality, consistent care at every level of our health system.” 

AI in Action

The Rapid Enterprise Platform is designed to support health systems beyond a single disease state or moment in care. RapidAI’s clinical coverage spans neuro, cardiac and vascular care, trauma, and oncology. It combines deep clinical AI with advanced 3D visualization across the body, care coordination, enterprise analytics and longitudinal patient management. RapidAI-developed and curated third-party applications allow health systems to scale AI across specialties and follow disease over time through one platform.

OSF is committed to ensuring reliable care at all times. The platform's infrastructure, Rapid Edge Cloud, is designed to keep critical decision support and care coordination tools available even during a network or cloud outage, helping minimize disruption and keep care consistently available. 

“Our goal is to help hospitals deliver the best possible care for the communities they serve, and validated AI that improves clinical decision-making can be a powerful part of that,” said Karim Karti, CEO of RapidAI. “OSF is leading by example, implementing AI across its enterprise to help teams work at their best, reduce variation and make informed decisions.”
