Prosper AI, a voice AI platform, announced it received $5 million in seed funding.
Emergence Capital led the round with participation from Y Combinator, CRV and Company Ventures.
WHAT IT DOES
Prosper AI agents connect with Epic, athena and other EHRs to handle tasks ranging from scheduling and benefit checks to prior authorization, claims status, billing, refill reminders and patient intake.
Health systems, billing companies, pharmacy hubs, specialty pharmacies and insurers use the platform.
Prosper AI will use the funds to advance its voice AI platform. The company also intends to expand beyond voice into a larger AI workforce for healthcare, including reading faxes and connecting to application programming interfaces.
"Our mission is to unlock universal access to care by empowering healthcare organizations to achieve unprecedented efficiency with AI Agents," Xavier de Gracia, cofounder of Prosper AI, said in a statement.
MARKET SNAPSHOT
Other companies in the voice AI space include SuperDial, which in June received $15 million in funding, which included $3 million in venture debt.
SuperDial automates phone calls for billing companies and provider organizations using AI agents. The platform handles benefits verification, prior authorization, claims follow-up and credentialing.
SuperDial's customers include revenue cycle management companies and large provider organizations, such as dental service organizations and management services organizations that manage their billing.
The company used the funds to invest in research and development as well as go-to-market initiatives and to scale its voice AI platform.
In 2024, Infinitus Systems, which utilizes AI to automate manual healthcare-related phone calls, scored $51.5 million in Series C funding.
The San Francisco-based company's AI-enabled platform, FastTrack, uses AI agents and copilots to communicate with payers about claims processing and collect information on patients' prior authorizations, benefit verification and prescription follow-ups.
Suki is another company that offers an AI-backed voice tool for healthcare.
In July, Suki's newly appointed chief medical officer Dr. Kevin Wong, sat down with MobiHealthNews to discuss his plans for Suki and where he sees the company driving change in healthcare moving forward.
In April, Suki introduced a new feature to generate and stage prescription orders from ambient visits.
The new feature was made available as part of the company's flagship product, Suki Assistant, which uses generative AI to automatically create clinical documentation by ambiently listening to patient-clinician conversations.
