Israel Krush

CEO and Co-Founder

Hyro

New York City, NY

Mr. Krush leads Hyro with a philosophy focused entirely on measurable outcomes, removing chaos from healthcare workflows and ensuring patients get what they need quickly, confidently and on their own terms. Recognizing early that legacy communication infrastructures were breaking under the weight of workforce shortages and rising costs, he steered Hyro to build a healthcare-native AI agent platform that shifts the paradigm from a reactive, agent-based model to a proactive, need-based model. The platform fundamentally synchronizes patient communication across voice and digital channels and creates a seamless connective intelligence layer for health systems. The results are validated by data across Hyro’s footprint of more than 50 leading health systems, enabling over 30 million patient interactions annually, with customers achieving large returns on investment, saving staff hours, realizing cost savings and unlocking capacity gains. In October 2025, Mr. Krush secured a $45 million strategic growth round led by Healthier Capital, doubling the company’s valuation and bringing total funding to $95 million. His work is bolstered by his background as a statistician. Hyro has been recognized on CB Insights’ “Digital Health 50” in 2025 and was named a Gartner “Cool Vendor” in 2022, among numerous other industry honors.
