UnityAI – a healthcare technology startup founded by three seasoned engineers and data scientists with backgrounds at HCA Healthcare – announced the successful closure of its seed funding round, securing $4 million in total capital to date. The company founders Dr. Edmund Jackson, CEO, Cody Hall, and Dr. Jason Parker bring a wealth of expertise in the health care sector, where they identified a critical need for innovation in hospital operations. Using their collective experience and insights, they established UnityAI with a mission to transform how hospitals optimize patient flow.
One of the guiding principles for UnityAI is to simultaneously improve quality and efficiency by improving operational smoothness. And its technology will introduce AI-optimized operations to hospitals, helping them efficiently and carefully move patients through their facilities.
Dr. Jackson believes that outcomes like quality, experience, efficiency and satisfaction cannot be constructed directly. Instead, they grow from a smooth and disciplined environment and our mission is to use AI to help create those environments. And UnityAI employs state-of-the-art reinforcement learning AI, as well as classical optimization to create timely, valuable content, and then employs LLMs to communicate that content ergonomically into hospital workflow.
The funding round is being led by Max Ventures. And the pre-seed investor Whistler Capital Partners is co-investing and remains the largest investor. And additional investors are Nashville Capital Network and Company Ventures, as well as a small number of Nashville-based healthcare angels. This deal will represent Company Venture’s first healthcare investment out of its new Nashville office.
UnityAI already achieved significant milestones with its initial funding and is poised to disrupt the traditional hospital bed management paradigm. And the company is actively engaging with healthcare providers to implement its solution and looks forward to making a positive impact on patient care across the industry.
