Agentic patient assistant introduced to 150 healthcare executives at Get Connected 2025 conference in Washington, DC
Get Well, the leader in digital patient engagement, unveiled Opal, an on-demand AI patient assistant for hospital experience and post-discharge support. The announcement was made at the Get Connected 2025 conference, where both Get Well and sister company RhythmX AI showcased AI-powered assistants built on the precision care platform of parent company SAIGroup, a global leader in enterprise AI.
“Joining SAIGroup has accelerated Get Well’s access to data, technology, and talent to unleash the power of GenAI and agentic AI on reducing friction for patients, empowering caregivers, and delivering more value for health systems at every point in the care continuum,” said Michael O’Neil, Founder & CEO of Get Well. “Opal is Get Well’s first manifestation of a new precision care platform aimed at expanding the power of patient and clinician engagement to improve experience, quality, and cost of care.”
With Opal, patients have an always-on agent, empowering them to take control of their healthcare experience and navigating them through the inpatient stay, discharge readiness, and more. Opal engages patients, families, and caregivers with care plans, education, and follow-up appointment reminders, no app required. It keeps caregivers in the loop with automated, real-time updates.
Opal also tracks real-time discharge progress, delivers post-discharge check-ins, and addresses common discharge delays, such as transportation or care plan adherence. Now with Opal, health systems can achieve lower costs, optimized resources, and fewer readmissions by acting as an intelligent extension of the care team at critical patient engagement touchpoints.

With Get Well now part of the SAIGroup family, we’re combining the proven strengths of Get Well’s Opal agent and RhythmX AI’s precision primary care solutions to create the next generation of healthcare innovation—one that thinks, learns, and acts alongside clinicians and patients,” said Dr. Romesh Wadhwani, SAIGroup Chairman. “With more than 25 years at the frontier of enterprise AI, SAIGroup is proud to accelerate healthcare’s transformation with the same scale, speed, and depth we’ve delivered across industries.”
