About the Company:

This organization is transforming healthcare communication through AI. Clinics currently miss 30–40% of patient calls, while staff are overwhelmed by administrative tasks. They believe AI agents should handle these workflows—scheduling, billing, prescription refills, and follow-ups—so healthcare providers can focus on patient care.

Their AI agents complete workflows end-to-end, ensuring patients are never unheard. To date, they have managed hundreds of thousands of patient interactions across various healthcare sectors and insurers.

Founded by individuals with backgrounds from top universities and leading tech companies, the company has raised significant funding from well-known investment firms and accelerators. The team is based in New York, working rapidly to solve critical healthcare communication challenges.
