Phoenix-Based MiiHealth Raises $2.8M to Automate Patient Intake With AI

Phoenix-based MiiHealth AI has raised $2.8 million in seed funding to expand its AI-powered clinical intake platform and support broader adoption across healthcare providers.

The round was led by Russell Glass, former CEO of Headspace and founder of Arteria Capital, with participation from physician angel investors, healthcare operators and digital health founders.

Using AI Before the Patient Walks In

MiiHealth is developing DAINA — Dynamic AI Intake and Navigation Agent, an AI assistant designed to handle patient intake before an appointment begins.

DAINA calls patients ahead of their visits and conducts a multi-turn clinical interview in the patient's preferred language. Information gathered during the conversation is then converted into a structured clinical note and entered into the provider's electronic health record.

The goal is straightforward: reduce the amount of appointment time providers spend gathering routine information and documenting patient responses.

MiiHealth says its technology can return more than two hours per day to providers that would otherwise be spent on repetitive questioning and manual documentation.

Early Deployment at Mayo Clinic

The company has already tested DAINA in a cardiology deployment at Mayo Clinic, where the AI assistant has completed intake across hundreds of patients.

According to MiiHealth, DAINA has saved providers more than eight minutes per patient encounter while maintaining clinical quality and patient trust.

That early deployment provides MiiHealth with a significant healthcare environment in which to validate the technology as the company prepares for broader commercialization.

What's Next for MiiHealth

The new capital will be used to expand MiiHealth's engineering and AI teams, develop additional specialty-specific clinical protocols and strengthen DAINA's clinical reasoning and safety capabilities.

The company also plans to deepen integrations with major electronic health record systems and expand its commercial and customer-success teams.

Founder and CEO Kelvin Summoogum said the funding will support the development of a more trustworthy clinical agent while expanding the company's reach across EHR systems covering a significant portion of the U.S. healthcare market.

For Arizona's technology ecosystem, the round represents another example of a Phoenix company applying AI to a specific industry workflow. Rather than replacing the provider-patient interaction, MiiHealth is focused on automating the administrative work surrounding it — giving clinicians more time to focus on the appointment itself.
