Meet Parakeet Health
Hi, we're Parakeet Health! 👋
Our team has been working hard to solve one of healthcare’s biggest challenges: making it easy for providers and patients to connect and communicate.
This week, we’re thrilled to publicly announce that our AI-powered voice platform is now supporting leading national provider organizations and specialty practices, covering hundreds of thousands of lives.
The Parakeet Voice Platform integrates directly with EMR systems to:
Handle real-time appointment bookings
Check insurance verification
Intake patients
Make outbound and inbound calls - with no human intervention
With generative AI and voice technology at the core of our platform, we’re making life easier for healthcare providers of all sizes by fully automating repetitive administrative tasks.
As Fierce Healthcare recently noted in a story about Parkeet this week,
“In six months of deployment at health systems, Parakeet has reduced patient acquisition costs by more than half (from $8.38 to $4.09) and freed up time for front desk staff to engage in higher value patient interaction.”
As part of this week's announcement, we are happy to share that we have raised $3 million in seed funding, from Canvas Ventures, CoFound Partners and Storyhouse Ventures.
“The company plans to use the funds to grow its team, advance development of its technology, and grow by targeting health systems, multi-site medical practices and large senior primary care providers offered by Medicare Advantage plans,” as reported in MobiHealthNews.
We’re just getting started and are excited to continue our mission to improve patient communication through the power of AI. Come join us in making this happen.
