About Novoflow

Novoflow is building AI Employees for medical clinics. We see two industry-breaking problems: over 400 EHRs, 1000s of vendors, and millions of patients all lacking interoperability across healthcare, and a trail of operational inefficiency following it. We’re building the scalable, reliable, and safe AI infrastructure that solves this problem.

With multi-year contracts secured and strong investor backing from YC advisors and top investors, we’re scaling our engineering fast to meet skyrocketing demand.
