Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Decoda's August 2026 docs show rapid feature velocity across labs, billing, forms, and calling.
- The company claims no export fees, easing migration fears and improving sales trust.
- A June 2026 hiring post for content creator signals active go-to-market expansion.
What critics are saying
- Zenoti's 2026 medspa push and Vagaro's September 2026 SOAP Notes compress Decoda's wedge.
- Decoda's public traction still rests on $4.5M seed and vague 'hundreds of practices' claims.
- If clinics standardize on Zenoti or Vagaro, Decoda becomes a replaceable point solution.
What makes Decoda Health unique
- Decoda's 2026 product unifies scheduling, charting, payments, inventory, and telephony in one record.
- Its AI agents read patient context from the system of record, not bolt-on integrations.
- Toronto-founded by Daniyal Afzal, Kevin Cheng, and James Oswald, it targets medspas specifically.

↓ -7%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.
Decoda Health raised a $4.5M seed round led by Y Combinator to build the AI-native operating system for the next generation of clinical care.
JustPaid has added several accounts receivable (AR) and accounts payable (AP) reporting features to its platform that helps small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) manage their finances. These new features join the company’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform that helps businesses make, receive and track payments; understand their finances; and identify opportunities, JustPaid said in a Tuesday (March 19) press release. “With the new reporting features, financial controllers, credit managers, sales managers, auditors and so many others will be able to use these reports as a critical financial management tool with broad applications across various organizational roles,” Anelya Grant, chief product officer and co-founder of JustPaid, said in the release
