PEORIA, Ill., Aug. 10, 2026 — OSF HealthCare, a not-for-profit health system serving
communities across Illinois and Michigan, and technology vendor RapidAI, a global leader in enterprise clinical AI, today 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 goes beyond alerting teams to a potential finding. It 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 its use of the RapidAI platform 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 with a technology provider 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.”
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. We are proud to
support that vision as its strategic enterprise AI partner.”
The expansion builds on recognized leadership at OSF HealthCare in using technology to
strengthen patient care. In 2025, Fortune named OSF one of America’s Most Innovative
Companies for the second time, making it the only Illinois health system on the list. OSF also
earned CHIME Digital Health Most Wired recognition for the 14th consecutive year, achieving
Level 9 certification across acute, ambulatory and long-term acute care settings. These honors
reinforce OSF is a leader in applying technology at scale to improve care.
