Trusted Health has acquired the technology and intellectual property of ShiftOS, developer of Holly, an AI scheduling agent for healthcare organisations. Holly will be integrated into Trusted Works, Trusted Health's staffing and scheduling optimisation platform. Holly coordinates workforce operations including scheduling, call-offs, shift swaps, and compliance monitoring. Built with an agent-first architecture, it coordinates more than 50 specialised AI agents to handle discrete workforce tasks. The system takes requests directly from staff by text or phone and completes approved actions rather than simply recommending them. ShiftOS was developed by a clinician-led team and has been deployed in organisations with workforces ranging from 25 to more than 2,000 employees. Trusted Health will focus on integrating ShiftOS's technology into schedule generation and user interfaces.

Trusted Health acquires ShiftOS to advance agentic staffing and scheduling for health systems. Holly, ShiftOS's AI scheduling agent, builds schedules, fills call-offs, and communicates with users directly by text and phone Medical Facilities & Services SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Trusted Health, a healthcare workforce technology company, today announced it has acquired the technology, intellectual property, and other assets of ShiftOS, developer of Holly, an AI scheduling agent built for hospitals, health systems, and other organizations with complex workforces. Holly will be integrated into Trusted Works, Trusted Health's staffing and scheduling optimization platform for hospitals and health systems. Holly - purpose-built by a clinician-led team - coordinates day-to-day workforce operations, including scheduling, call-offs, shift swaps, paid-time-off requests, license tracking, and compliance monitoring. Across its deployments, Holly has adapted to each organization's workflows, labor and union rules, and operational controls, supporting workforces ranging from 25 to more than 2,000 employees. Unlike conventional scheduling software augmented with individual AI features, Holly was designed from the ground up around an agent-first architecture. Its system coordinates more than 50 specialized AI agents responsible for discrete workforce tasks and uses continuous evaluation, benchmarking, and feedback to improve their performance. This architecture enables Holly to take requests directly from staff by text or phone, coordinate work across systems, and complete approved actions - not simply recommend them. "Our healthcare partners need a new workforce operating system. One that can anticipate demand, balance schedules, fill workforce gaps, and determine when external labor or premium rates are truly needed. But we won't get there by simply adding AI features to legacy systems," said Lennie Sliwinski, founder and CEO of Trusted Health. "ShiftOS built Holly from first principles to reinvent complex scheduling workflows, and this acquisition will help us deliver that operating system across the entire staffing and scheduling lifecycle." "We built Holly to operate as part of the workforce operations team, adapting to the tools, policies, and workflows each organization already uses," said Autumn-Kyoko Cushman, co-founder of ShiftOS. "The best workforce technology should not create another dashboard or another task for managers - it should take work off their plates while operating within their controls. Trusted brings the healthcare expertise, scale, and enterprise relationships to deploy this technology in some of the most complex workforce environments. That is exactly where Holly belongs."
