Doctronic Secures $20 Million to Scale AI-Powered Healthcare Platform

Doctronic has secured $20 million in Series A funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners to expand its artificial intelligence-powered healthcare guidance platform, which combines generative AI with licensed physician access to address critical gaps in primary care accessibility. The platform, which has already facilitated 15 million medical conversations and currently handles 50,000 visits per week, offers users immediate health guidance at no charge while maintaining the option for video consultations with licensed physicians.

The platform's AI advisor provides users with potential explanations for their symptoms, likelihood-based assessments, and subjective, objective, assessment and plan (SOAP) notes that patients can bring to their healthcare providers. This approach addresses the significant wait times that plague primary care access across the United States, from rural areas to major metropolitan centers.

"Whether you are in rural Montana or New York City, it still takes over three weeks to see a primary care doctor, and in many cases a lot more," Dr. Adam Oskowitz, Doctronic co-founder, said in the release. "With Doctronic, the average time to chat with our AI and see one of our clinicians is less than 20 minutes."

The platform operates through direct-to-consumer channels and is developing partnerships with payers and health systems to expand its reach. This dual approach positions Doctronic to serve both individual consumers seeking immediate health guidance and institutional partners looking to enhance their care delivery capabilities.

Lightspeed Venture Partners, which led the funding round, sees Doctronic's growth trajectory as indicative of healthcare's AI-driven transformation. "What sets them apart is far more than just speed or convenience, but a fundamentally unique agentic architecture that pairs collective AI intelligence with real clinical oversight," Faraz Fatemi, partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, said. "That combination makes Doctronic the trusted front door for millions of patients and positions them to define what next-gen healthcare looks like in America."

The funding comes amid broader industry momentum for AI-powered healthcare solutions. Oracle Health recently introduced AI tools aimed at reducing administrative burdens in areas like prior authorizations and claims processing, while Predoc raised $30 million for its AI-powered health information management system in early September. These developments reflect growing investor confidence in AI's potential to address systemic challenges in healthcare delivery, from reducing wait times to streamlining administrative processes that have traditionally hindered efficient care access.
