## About this market
Health AI bought by or for public institutions carries a validation burden most commercial AI never meets, and the agencies here have worked inside it. Dr. Mark Wernsdorfer's AMPEL system runs clinical decision support for laboratory diagnostics across more than 1,500 beds at University Hospital Leipzig—deployed clinical AI in a public hospital, which is rare on any directory. Hybrid Heroes built the DIRECT e-mental-health platform with Freie Universität Berlin and the Swiss Red Cross. Visium's pharma library names Idorsia and describes anonymized work including pathology report abstraction at 90% faster, Zühlke's health work runs from an Alzheimer's research data platform to NHS engagements, and Unit8 and ELCA bring Swiss delivery.

The questions here are not about models. Who validated the system, against what reference standard, and what evidence package went to the ethics committee or the regulator? What happens clinically when the model is unavailable or uncertain? Suppliers who have deployed in a public hospital answer these immediately and in the sector's own vocabulary; the answer that describes architecture instead is telling you this would be their first time.

## Questions buyers ask

### How many AI agencies work with public-sector on healthcare?
14 agencies in our directory combine verified public-sector client evidence with documented Healthcare work. The current top-ranked are Fast Data Science, Zühlke, Kortical — ordered by depth of documented client evidence, then our editorial scoring (portfolio quality, credibility, completeness); placement is never paid.

### How much does an AI agency cost for healthcare?
Published rates across this page's agencies run €45–260 per hour (median ~€108). Project totals depend on scope — the rate index at /rates breaks the computed bands down by region, country and team size.

### How is public-sector experience verified on this page?
Each listed agency has at least two documented, named public-sector clients — published case studies or engagement descriptions our research actually read, with source URLs stored per client. Logo walls without published evidence carry no weight, which is what separates this list from self-declared directories.
