↓ -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.
