US Healthcare administrative spending is ~$1T annually, but the workflows that underpin industry remain outdated and heavily labor-intensive. Behind every patient interaction sits a dense layer of administrative work: intake, documentation validation, eligibility checks, payer communication, and follow-ups that determine whether care actually gets delivered and reimbursed. Despite decades of digitization efforts, much of this work remains manual, fragmented, and deeply inefficient.
These inefficiencies have real consequences. Even as demand for care continues to grow, many parts of the healthcare system suffer from chronic understaffing, leaving providers without the human capacity to process all the patients they could otherwise serve. Increasing access to care increasingly depends on whether providers can use technology to absorb administrative load and accelerate each stage of the patient lifecycle, thereby improving both throughput and the patient experience.
Enter Synthpop, a provider of AI Agents to automate administrative workflows across healthcare
Synthpop’s agents are instant, scalable, and never tire unlike traditional human capital. They’re able to communicate across all modalities, and they understand thousands of provider and payor workflows. Furthermore, they’re designed to escalate to human staff when judgement or exception handling is required.
Most notable are Synthpop’s Intake and Conversational agents. The Intake Agent is able to process in <1 minute what traditionally takes humans up to 40 minutes to complete and can handle tasks like document split/categorization, data extraction, entity resolution, patient and order record creation, and more. The Conversational Agent on the other hand automates thousands of human hours customers traditionally spend on inbound/outbound communication. It’s able to look up/update patient information, answer inbound calls, collect resupply orders, and more.
The business has already created tremendous value across a variety of healthcare industries where the burden of these manual workflows is high like DME, Diagnostics, Fertility, and more. In one case, a customer accelerated intake so significantly that they temporarily ran out of equipment to provide patients, an outcome that truly underscores how deeply administrative friction can constrain care delivery. We’re deeply impressed with what Synthpop has been able to achieve to date, and we’re thrilled to lead the Series A and help the business create an even larger impact in such a critical industry.
