WorkDone, a Y Combinator-Backed Startup, Raises $1.8M in VC Funding to Transform Medical Documentation Compliance With AI
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / / May 21, 2025 / WorkDone ( a healthcare AI startup based in San Francisco, announced the closing of a $1.8 million pre-seed round to tackle one of healthcare's most costly and persistent challenges: documentation errors in Electronic Health Records (EHRs). The round, which took place in April this year, included backing from Pioneer Fund, DVC, Fjor, Ryan Chan, Eric Norman, and other notable early-stage investors. WorkDone's AI-powered compliance copilot integrates directly with hospital EHR systems using HL7, FHIR, and other industry protocols. It continuously monitors clinical workflows in real time to detect and resolve documentation issues - like missed discharge notes or incorrect medication times - before they result in denied insurance claims, compliance audits, or revenue loss. WorkDone is built to deliver measurable impact at scale: Accelerate insurance payments by up to 20% by eliminating documentation gaps that delay reimbursement and cause resubmittals. Reduce provider time on documentation by 30%, enabling clinicians to focus more on patient care. Eliminate 90% of effort spent on manual charts audit by automating flagging and fixing documentation issues. Recover up to 15% of provider's revenue typically lost to preventable claim denials through real-time issue resolution. "We're excited to see our solution already making a difference for hospitals and clinics nationwide," said Dmitry Karpov, CEO of WorkDone. "Accurate documentation isn't just a billing issue - it's a foundation of quality care. We help ensure that what happens in care gets reflected correctly, in real time." "Ensuring clinical compliance isn't just about avoiding penalties - it's about protecting patients and supporting frontline staff." - Joel N.H. Stern, Professor of Neurology & Molecular Medicine, Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra University, advisor of WorkDone. Since the beginning of 2025, WorkDone has achieved major milestones: completing HIPAA compliance, acquiring its first healthcare clients - primarily in the drug and alcohol rehabilitation sector - and securing a spot in Y Combinator's Spring 2025 (X25) batch. The company is currently focused on expanding sales to medical institutions across California, Texas, and Florida, where documentation compliance challenges are particularly acute.

JUNO HEALTH PARTNERS WITH AVO TO INTEGRATE AI INTO ITS EHR SYSTEM
JUNO BEACH, Fla., March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Juno Health, a leader in healthcare innovation and digital transformation, is partnering with Avo, an AI-powered clinical decision support platform, to integrate AI scribe technology into its Juno EHR (electronic health record) systems. Juno Health's cloud-based, ONC-certified acute care and behavioral health solutions are built for the future of healthcare. They use HL7 FHIR APIs as a starting point, are USCDI-compliant, and employ standards-based coding of data elements in support of interoperability. Adding Avo's AI-driven capabilities to Juno Health's already-modern approach further ensures that Juno EHR is ready to help drive healthcare forward. Now, with the inclusion of Avo's AI Scribe, Juno EHR will make it easier for clinicians to interact with patients and practice evidence-based medicine. With HIPAA-secure ambient listening at the point of care in 50-plus languages and the ability to transcribe patient-provider interactions of three-plus participants in real time, clinicians can focus on patient needs instead of data entry. In a recent study at Downstate Health Sciences University, documentation times decreased by an average of 5-10 minutes per note using Avo's technology. With this integration, Juno EHR will be able to combine the captured transcription with EHR data, including past medical records, lab results, and evidence-based guidelines, to generate new documentation that reflects the next best steps of patient care and maximizes reimbursement potential. In addition to aiding clinicians in generating smart notes in seconds, this integration will ensure patients receive the most accurate picture of their visit. 'This is the next logical step for Juno EHR,' Michael Bond, vice president of sales and marketing at Juno Health, said. 'By integrating Avo's capabilities into our solutions, we are further creating opportunities to reduce the documentation burden that leads to clinician burnout while using the latest technology to improve patient outcomes.' Like Juno Health, Avo was created to solve the burdens posed by the status quo of clinical workflows as experienced firsthand by its team of clinicians. 'We are thrilled to partner with Juno Health to empower their customers with ambient technology at the point of care,' Dr. Joongheum Park, cofounder and head of product at Avo, said. 'By integrating Avo's proven AI Scribe as a part of their EHR platform, Juno is demonstrating its commitment to improving clinician well-being and driving reimbursement potential for its customer base.' Juno Health and Avo's partnership will be on display during the 2025 HIMSS Global Health Conference and Exhibition in booth No. 2443. ABOUT JUNO HEALTH At Juno Health, everything we do is driven by the expertise of the doctors, nurses, and clinical professionals on our staff. As a division of DSS, Inc., we combine 575-plus years of clinical experience with more than 30 years of proven success in clinical software development. Our modern, ONC-certified acute care EHR offers unprecedented, system-wide customization capabilities that are governed at the organizational level to provide a truly personalized experience for the user while guaranteeing administrative control. This level of flexibility allows you to streamline workflows, eliminate duplicative tasks, remove roadblocks, and facilitate more successful patient outcomes. ABOUT AVO The Avo clinician support platform empowers healthcare organizations to standardize care and reduce burnout by seamlessly incorporating guidelines and protocols into the clinical workflow, helping to drive clinician adoption of quality initiatives and decrease costs for health systems. The platform is EHR-integrated and powered by its 'no-code' Avo Builder, allowing systems to seamlessly customize or update workflows without IT support. By centralizing the latest information and transforming it into actionable tools in the EHR (or outside of it), Avo simplifies everyday tasks such as pre-charting, care planning, documentation, ambient listening, ordering, and more. Avo aims to standardize care with love, not alerts.
