A16z announced that it led a Series C round of financing for Infinitus, an artificial intelligence platform that automates healthcare telephony and data collection, and joined its board of directors for an undisclosed amount. A16z says an artificial intelligence platform built by Infinitus specifically to automate healthcare calls and data collection will accelerate patient access to care while reducing costly staff turnover and improving the quality of data collection. Infinitus' artificial intelligence agents handle end-to-end phone calls on behalf of healthcare providers, fully automating tasks such as benefit verification for callers lasting up to an hour, and updating patient records in real time.
