🤖 Somn - AI receptionists for healthcare clinics

We help clinics answer calls, book appointments, and call patients using AI voice assistants that sound human.

Meet Chloe:

The Problem

Clinics do a lot of phone calls— booking appointments, following up after a visit, reminding patients of a visit, verifying insurance, calling referring providers, etc. These calls prevent staff from interacting with patients, building relationships with families, and completing clinical documentation.

In specialties like physical therapy, some clinicians just let the phone ring out if they’re seeing a patient, resulting in unhappy patients and lost revenue.

The Solution

Our AI assistants handle any phone call that involves a repetitive task, so clinicians can focus on helping patients.

We don’t ask clinics to rip out any technology to use our agents. That means we integrate with fax machines, EHRs, and existing phone systems.

Introducing Jen & Jim:

Our Background

Shawn Shivdat (CEO) grew up helping his mom in her private practice and built software at Massachusetts General Hospital while studying Computational Neuroscience at Harvard.

Deniz Sert (CTO) was a software engineer at Apple and worked at startups while studying Computer Science at MIT.

Together, we previously built an AI sleep improvement platform used by schools like Georgetown, Columbia, and Tufts before pivoting during YC.

💥 The Deal

For clinics, startups, and systems who work with us before Demo Day, we’ll integrate with existing systems (including EHRs) for free.
