Vetnio
Vetnio is a Swedish AI copilot that automates the paperwork of veterinary medicine. It listens to consultations between vets and pet owners, writes structured clinical notes, drafts client communications, and offers science-backed diagnostic prompts - giving clinicians back roughly two hours a day. Founded in 2024 by longtime friends Arman Karegar and Max Henry Xie, it is one of the few European veterinary companies backed by Y Combinator (W25).
DeepScribe
DeepScribe is a San Francisco-based health-tech company building an ambient AI medical scribe that listens to natural doctor-patient conversations and turns them into complete, structured clinical notes in real time. Founded in 2017, the company has narrowed its focus to oncology, where it says it serves roughly 90% of U.S. community oncology organizations, and layers on tools for coding, pre-visit prep, and specialty-specific customization. The pitch is straightforward: let clinicians look at their patients instead of their keyboards, and cut the after-hours documentation that drives burnout.
Oath Surgical
Oath Surgical is a Portland, Oregon-based healthtech company building a full-stack, AI-native system for outpatient surgery. It owns and operates its own ambulatory surgical centers while developing OathOS, an ambient clinical intelligence platform that analyzes surgical video, audio and operational data in real time to reduce administrative burden and support value-based, surgeon-led care. Founded by physician and former Intuitive Ventures head Oliver Keown, the company has raised roughly $35M and partners with NVIDIA, McKesson Ventures and FPV Ventures.
Canvas Medical
Canvas Medical builds programmable EMR infrastructure for the companies reinventing how care gets delivered. Its ONC-certified electronic medical record pairs a FHIR API and a Workflow SDK so clinicians and developers can extend the chart like software, then layers AI agents - led by the open-source Hyperscribe ambient copilot - that listen, document, place orders, and prep claims in real time. Founded in 2015 in San Francisco, Canvas powers primary care, behavioral health, weight loss, longevity, and other modern clinics that want their EMR to bend to their workflows instead of the other way around.
Health Note
Health Note is a healthcare AI company that automates the administrative work surrounding a clinical visit. Founded by physician Joshua Reischer, MD, its platform collects patient information before an appointment through conversational texting and AI voice agents, then turns that data into structured EHR documentation and pre-written clinical notes. The goal is to cut the paperwork and phone-tag that drives physician burnout, shorten check-in times, and let care teams spend more time with patients and less with screens.
Abridge
Abridge builds generative AI that listens to patient-clinician conversations and turns them into structured clinical notes and billing-ready documentation in real time.

Apella
