What Ankr Health does

Adoption of Telehealth 1.0 has dropped to <5% because it's inefficient and unintelligent. Ankr uses generative AI to recreate functions of clinic staff including front desk, medical assistants and scribe. This allows Doctors to "spin-up" virtual clinics on-demand, anytime, anywhere. An average clinic using Ankr generates $1M in new revenue/year. We integrate with all top EHRs and work with all types of clinics in mid- to large-sized healthcare organizations.

Virtualizing clinics with generative AI

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build software that recreates clinic staff functions - front desk, medical assistants, scribes - using generative AI. This lets doctors spin up fully virtual clinics on-demand, integrated with all top EHR systems. It's aimed at mid- to large-sized healthcare organizations that want telehealth that actually works and drives revenue.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here, with a distributed remote team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has top healthcare tech talent and proximity to key healthcare organizations. Remote work lets us recruit broadly, but SF remains our hub for product and strategy.
