The company will use the funding to build its platform, hire new talent and find new partnerships. Recently, the company launched Spot, a GPT-powered virtual assistant designed to answer frequently asked questions, according to a May 31 Hyro news release.

Macquarie Capital led the funding round. The latest funding brings the company’s total raised to $35 million.

“In an age of generative AI, labor shortages and economic struggle, healthcare organizations will look to eliminate low-level tasks to further drive efficiency,” Hyro co-founder and CEO Israel Krush said in the release. “Automation is no longer simply nice to have — we’re poised to capture unprecedented demand for AI assistants as health systems continue trusting us to scale interactions surrounding critical workflows.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
