  • MiiHealth

    Health

    MiiHealth AI is a digital health company that provides an agentic artificial intelligence (AI) medical assistant to automate the patient intake process for healthcare providers. Founded in 2018 by Kelvin Summoogum, the company is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, after relocating from the UK in August 2024 to be closer to the US healthcare innovation ecosystem. Summoogum serves as the company's CEO. The company's core product is DAINA, the Dynamic AI Intake and Navigation Agent. This platform autonomously calls patients before their scheduled appointments to conduct a multi-turn clinical interview in the patient's preferred language. DAINA captures structured clinical histories, symptoms, and red flags using specialty-specific protocols for fields like cardiology and oncology. After the call, it generates a structured, clinician-ready intake note and integrates it directly into the facility's Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. The system is powered by the underlying MediiFlow intake automation engine. MiiHealth AI's business model is B2B, targeting health systems, medical groups, and specialty clinics with a Subscription SaaS and service-based offering. The primary value proposition is reducing the administrative burden on clinicians, with the company stating it can save providers over two hours per day that would otherwise be spent on repetitive questioning and documentation. This efficiency gain is intended to increase patient throughput, free up billable visit slots, and allow providers to focus more on patient care. A clinical validation at Mayo Clinic showed that DAINA saved providers an average of eight minutes per cardiology encounter. While some reports cited a $2.8 million figure, others stated the amount was undisclosed. The capital is aimed at expanding its engineering and AI teams, broadening its catalog of specialty protocols, accelerating EHR integrations, and growing its commercial and customer success teams.
