Heidi Health has raised $65 million in a Series B round led by Steve Cohen’s Point72, advancing its mission to ease doctors’ administrative burdens with artificial intelligence.
Founded in 2021 by trauma surgeon Dr. Tom Kelly and Waleed Mussa, the Australian-based company developed an AI medical scribe that transcribes consultations, generates notes, and manages tasks—all designed to let clinicians focus more on patient care.
“We wanted to build an AI care partner that would stand alongside clinicians and take care of the admin so that individual providers, like me, can feel empowered to deliver the care which we dedicated our lives to,” said Dr. Kelly. Since launching in early 2024, Heidi Health’s technology has supported over 70 million patient visits across 116 countries, saving clinicians more than 18 million hours.
The platform combines proprietary AI with models like Gemini to optimise accuracy and efficiency. Features include real-time transcription, personalised patient summaries, task tracking, and a new AI agent that can call patients for doctors. Heidi Health integrates with major electronic health record systems and complies with global privacy standards.
Investors beyond Point72 include Goodwater Capital and Blackbird VC, bringing total funding to nearly $100 million. Dr. Kelly highlighted investors’ enthusiasm for Heidi’s exceptional user adoption, stating, “They had seen all the scribes before. They’d never seen product adoption and usage metrics like they’d seen in Heidi.”
The company aims to expand global clinical capacity, especially in challenging settings like war zones and underserved regions.
“Imagine a world where any healthcare provider in the world can use Heidi to increase their clinical capacity. Heidi can help them reach more patients and deliver better health care results,” Dr. Kelly said.
As AI reshapes healthcare documentation, Heidi Health stands out by significantly reducing the time clinicians spend on paperwork, improving both their efficiency and patient engagement.
“It’s about doubling the world’s health care capacity. That’s the true promise of AI. We want to bring it about,” Dr. Kelly concluded.
