Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Decoda says it serves 150+ clinics and processes $100M+ in annual transactions.
  • Its 2026 launch pages show stronger product depth, including AI Scribe and telephony add-ons.
  • The company reports 70% fewer manual calls and 1.5x more bookings after onboarding.

What critics are saying

  • Pabau, AestheticsPro, Zenoti, and Weave already defend elective-care workflows aggressively.
  • Decoda’s own site shows just 15 employees, limiting enterprise sales and support bandwidth.
  • If clinics keep Decoda as a point solution, incumbents will bundle away the category by 2027.

What makes Decoda Health unique

  • Decoda bundles EMR, scheduling, payments, inventory, and AI messaging into one elective-care system.
  • Its AI Front Desk answers calls, books appointments, and sends follow-ups 24/7.
  • Decoda targets med spas and aesthetic clinics, a niche underserved by general practice software.

Decoda Health raises $500K to build AI medical assistants for healthcare admin

Decoda Health, founded by Daniyal Afzal and Kevin Cheng in 2023, has raised $500,000 in pre-seed funding backed by Y Combinator. The startup develops AI-driven medical assistants to help healthcare providers manage administrative tasks including medical coding, billing, scheduling, and patient follow-ups. The founders bring backgrounds in fintech and radiology-tech machine learning. Personal experience motivated their venture: Afzal's father, a general surgeon, lost months of wages due to billing fraud and financial opacity in healthcare. Decoda Health's AI assistants automate routine administrative work, aiming to reduce documentation time and eliminate unnecessary visits. The company focuses on improving accuracy whilst reducing administrative burden, allowing healthcare providers to dedicate more time to patient care.
