## About this market
Healthcare projects here divide by what they left behind for review. Fast Data Science's Clinical Trial Risk Tool for the Gates Foundation extracts sample size, phase and effect size from protocols running to 200 pages, and the handover was public: deployed openly, MIT-licensed, written up in Gates Open Research with a DOI. Merantix Momentum's computer-vision tool for Boehringer Ingelheim's preclinical safety studies classifies 20+ behaviors at 87% accuracy, has run since 2023 with a paper at ICML 2024 behind it. Instituto de Ingeniería del Conocimiento documents sepsis alerts at Hospital Son Llàtzer and labor-induction decision support at Fuenlabrada, while its SNOMED-CT coding at SERMAS is a pilot. Babel led one of two lots on SESPA's teledermatology app, integrated with the health service's clinical systems in December 2025. Preste's Invofficine build extracts data from scanned invoices and prescriptions inside pharmacy software, three months, no result published.

For a clinical or pharma buyer the pilot-to-production gap is the question, and the write-ups show it: daily-use systems with a validation record sit next to pilots and builds with no production status. Ask which named system is running today, what evaluation set or publication the project left behind, and who retrains it; the curator notes that Merantix's Boehringer engagement runs open-ended and that no Preste card states whether its system is live. Read the Healthcare tag against the evidence: OstraconAI's healthcare clients bought sales and marketing tools, a reference-search assistant for Nordic Healthcare Group's sales team and outreach to oncologists, not clinical systems.

## Questions buyers ask

### How many AI agencies work with project-based on healthcare?
40 agencies in our directory combine verified project-based client evidence with documented Healthcare work. The current top-ranked are Square Root Solutions, Merantix Momentum, Preste — 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 €20–400 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 the project-based model verified?
Every agency here documents project-based work on its own site or in a published case study, describing the engagement structure rather than a service-list claim. We never infer the model from portfolio tone, so this list only contains agencies that operate project-based engagements deliberately.

### Can these agencies embed consultants with our team?
8 of the agencies on this page document an embedded / team-extension working model. See the team-extension page for the full verified list, or check the engagement chips on individual profiles.
