Cara AI
Cara AI is a multimodal AI platform built to standardize in-home health assessments so Medicaid members age in place, avoid the ER, and access the benefits supporting their wellness. Cara guides care coordinators through state-mandated LTSS assessments and completes roughly 70 percent of the visit remotely through SMS and weblink workflows before the coordinator arrives, subject to plan workflow preferences . The platform captures home safety risk through computer vision, scans medication bottles with OCR, conducts voice and chat health risk assessments, screens for food insecurity and social needs, and returns coded findings to the plan in real time. Founded in 2025 by Dr. Renee Dua, a practicing nephrologist and repeat health tech founder, Cara is deployed with more than 200 assessments completed and is running pilots across Medicaid LTSS, Medicare Advantage, and post-acute discharge
ChartR Health
ChartR Health builds AI-powered tools that help healthcare teams turn complex clinical and operational data into clear, real-time decisions. The platform analyzes patient records, documentation, and workflows to identify risks, highlight gaps in care, and surface patients who require follow-up, allowing teams to act earlier and more consistently. By integrating directly into existing clinical and operational systems, ChartR helps providers move beyond delayed reporting and manual chart review and respond to issues as they emerge. The platform is designed to support care teams working in high-volume, resource-constrained environments, where timely access to information is critical. ChartR supports health systems and clinics in improving care coordination, reducing inefficiencies, and delivering more consistent, data-driven care without adding complexity to day-to-day workflows.
CleanCut Health helps safety-net providers and Medicaid-serving organizations reach and retain members traditional outreach often misses, while converting those interactions into preventive health action.
Our platform enables providers, health plans, and public health organizations to work through trusted community partners such as faith organizations, neighborhood businesses, workforce groups, and community-based organizations to engage hard-to-reach populations around Medicaid retention, benefits navigation, preventive care, and chronic disease follow-through.
As Medicaid administrative requirements continue to evolve, safety-net organizations need scalable, community-centered ways to educate, engage, and support vulnerable members while reducing avoidable coverage loss and missed care opportunities.
CleanCut provides the operational infrastructure to launch targeted outreach workflows, verify completed member actions, coordinate navigation, and report measurable outcomes.
By turning trusted community relationships into accountable engagement infrastructure, we help organizations improve member retention, close care gaps, and reduce the burden on overstretched internal teams.

Elythea
Elythea is the voice AI engagement layer for safety-net Medicaid plans. Our multilingual agents complete the clinical conversations overworked call centers cannot: Health Risk Assessments, welcome calls, postpartum follow-up, redetermination outreach, and warm transfers to care managers. Across 8 US states, Elythea has served a diversity of patients from rural indigenous BIPOC mothers served by resoure-constrained CBOs/nonprofits/last-mile safety-net provider systems to members of of a Fortune 25 health plan. One recent partnership lifted HRA completions 160 percent in five days. Elythea is cash-flow positive in year four, goes live in under nine days, and built for the populations safety-net plans must reach.
Two years ago we started deploying inside a licensed marriage and family therapy practice. Today we have documented evidence that our platform deflects psychiatric emergency visits for acute behavioral health distress before they happen and that symptom tracking between visits helps improve outcomes. Jeeva builds the technology layer that lets rural primary care physicians act on behavioral health needs they see every day but currently have no infrastructure to address — connecting patients to psychiatry expertise through continuous mobile monitoring, AI-assisted clinical summaries, and automated referral coordination. Jeeva's active deployments are in California's CYBHI program in San Bernardino and Riverside (80+ Medi-Cal youth, 2+ years, ER deflection documented) and the University of Florida's federally-recognized PMHCA hub in rural Florida (14–20 rural PCPs, BAA executed). Mobile-first, caregiver-inclusive and soon to be bilingual. Some communities we serve don't walk into a therapist's office but Jeeva enables PCP's trusted platform reach them..

Ultrasound AI is a Colorado-headquartered medical-AI company building software that brings specialist-level prenatal interpretation into care settings that do not have a maternal-fetal medicine specialist on site. Our flagship product, Delivery Date AI™ (DDAI), is an FDA De Novo granted AI (DEN250007, February 11, 2026) that predicts delivery date from routine obstetric ultrasound images. DDAI runs on the ultrasound equipment a Colorado FQHC already owns, requires no new hardware, and is operated by the sonographer in the routine prenatal workflow — making specialist-level dating accessible to safety-net patients who do not have on-site MFM access. The structured prediction returns in real time, typically under 30 seconds. We support clinicians; we do not replace them.
