What are human-in-the-loop HITL constructs for healthcare AI?

HITL pauses AI agents at key spots — like accessing PHI or changing protocols — forcing human approval to meet GxP regs and protect patients.

How does AWS implement HITL in agentic workflows?

Four ways: loop hooks, tool-embedded logic, Step Functions for async emails, MCP real-time elicitation. All on Bedrock, code on GitHub.

It adds latency for high-risk actions, but low-risk flies free. Balance efficiency with safety — or risk fines and lawsuits.
