The company also raised $11 million in March 10 series A funding led by Madrona and including Optum Ventures. Amigo AI develops patient-facing AI agents that provide intake and triage, care navigation, and 24/7 support.
“In my 23 years of practicing medicine, I’ve watched the demand for care outpace our ability to deliver it,” Dr. Shah stated in a news release. “Amigo’s approach of training agents with the same rigor we expect of clinicians means they can operate at the standard I’ve seen at Stanford, Columbia, and MD Anderson.”
