Zeya Health, a Singapore-based healthcare technology startup, has successfully raised US$575,000 in pre-seed funding from Antler and strategic angel investors. This funding follows a remarkable 20-fold increase in clinic adoption of its AI-native infrastructure since August, with the company maintaining a 2x month-on-month growth rate. The investment will support Zeya’s efforts to address the rising demand for efficient healthcare solutions in the Asia-Pacific region, which is projected to reach a market size of US$5t by 2030 amidst a shortage of healthcare professionals.
Zeya Health’s innovative AI front desk integrates seamlessly with existing electronic medical records (EMR) and communication platforms like WhatsApp, automating administrative tasks such as reminders, follow-ups, and patient engagement. This system allows clinics to operate more efficiently without overhauling their current infrastructure, enabling partners to go live within 48 hours.
The startup’s rapid growth has attracted attention from larger healthcare groups, including AcuMed in Singapore, which is exploring the implementation of Zeya’s solutions across multiple clinics. Winnie Khoo, Partner at Antler, praised Zeya’s swift execution and ability to tackle the entrenched operational challenges in healthcare, stating, “From day zero, the Zeya team has executed with speed and discipline.”
Co-founders Agastya Samat and Pasindu Wijesena bring extensive experience to the venture, having previously worked on large-scale digital health solutions. Their personal encounters with operational inefficiencies in healthcare inspired the creation of Zeya Health. The recent funding will facilitate further product development and expansion across the Asia-Pacific region, as Zeya aims to enhance operational excellence and patient experience without adding complexity.
