Ferry

AI assistant books in-network healthcare appointments

Overview

Ferry Health builds an AI personal assistant for healthcare logistics. It autonomously finds in-network providers and books appointments by making phone calls on behalf of patients, confirming location, subspecialty, and availability, and scheduling care across specialties. The service operates nationwide through partnerships with health systems, insurers, and care-navigation platforms, enabling end-to-end scheduling and coordination for tasks like imaging and home health. Its goal is to reduce care access friction and expand patient reach, growing from over 1 million users toward at least a fivefold increase by year-end.
