Heidi Health CEO Thomas Kelly on winning doctors in the AI arms race
The AI medical scribe startup is taking a different path in the crowded healthcare documentation space, focusing on the needs of doctors over hospital sales.
Heidi Health has carved out a niche in the competitive AI medical documentation market with its doctor-first approach.
Heidi’s AI scribe operates during consultations, automating clinical note-taking and documentation so healthcare workers can focus on patient care. While competitors focus on selling to hospital executives, the Melbourne-based company says it builds tools based on what clinicians actually need.
Heidi secured $US16.6 million ($26 million) in Series A follow-on funding this month, in a round led by Headline, with participation from Local Globe, Anthology and existing investors Blackbird, HESTA, Possible Ventures and Archangel Ventures.
