{"id":96026,"title":"Decoda Health: the operating system for elective care","tagline":"Where healthcare operations become intelligent.","body":"Clinics that rely on point solutions and disconnected tools create missed opportunities, fragmented patient experiences, and endless admin work.\n\n**Decoda Health** **is the operating system for modern elective-care clinics.** Our AI agents answer calls, take notes, keep calendars full, and handle patient follow-ups - all on top of a unified platform for scheduling, payments, memberships, prescriptions, labs, and analytics.\n\nWe’re live in **150+ clinics**, processing **$100M+** annually, saving **$7M** in admin time, and generating **$20M+** in new revenue for our customers. We have grown more than ten-fold in the last 6 months.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Ala-OpQMy4M\n\n### Problem\n\nEvery clinic has knowledge - how patients move through the workflow, which tasks matter most, what providers need, what's already been done, what's still pending.\n\nBut that knowledge lives in **ten different tools** and the minds of staff who come and go.\n\nSo every day feels like starting from scratch:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=96026\u0026key=user_uploads/1279796/be2f277d-ce92-4e4d-91f7-bcca78422717)\n\nThis isn't a workflow issue. **It's a missing foundation.**\n\n### **Solution**\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=96026\u0026key=user_uploads/1279796/65d5dc7a-69ef-430c-a89f-5d4376294f1a)\n\nFirst, we built the **full suite of modules every clinic needs**: scheduling, intake \u0026 consent forms, unified communications, charting \u0026 documentation, inventory \u0026 checkout, patient messaging, and reporting \u0026 analytics.\n\nThen we layered on intelligent agents that carry deep context and perform tasks like **answering calls, taking notes, and keeping calendars full.**\n\nBecause these agents and modules live inside the same platform, every workflow becomes connected and actionable.\n\nThe more a clinic uses Decoda, the **smarter** and **more streamlined** it becomes. This creates a **compounding advantage:** each clinic builds more longitudinal data, each agent becomes smarter with greater context, and each workflow grows increasingly deterministic.\n\nOver time, the system becomes not just a tool, but a **trusted co-pilot for running the clinic**.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=96026\u0026key=user_uploads/1279796/ee1b49ba-10ab-4e46-9e86-f9d152c5c10f)\n\n### Why Now\n\n**AI gives tiny teams massive leverage.** As a team of \u0026lt;10 people, we’ve already out-shipped incumbents with 500-person orgs. This moment, and our focus on clinic workflows, creates a rare window to build a category-defining platform.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=96026\u0026key=user_uploads/1279796/f3e45a34-b6a8-4599-89bc-0606823b3237)\n\n### Starting with elective care\n\nMore people want to live longer, happier, and healthier and are willing to spend on caring for themselves.\n\nWe are starting with a focus on **wellness, longevity, anti-aging, medical aesthetics, dermatology,** and **cosmetic surgery practices.**\n\nThis segment of care is growing fast and remains underserved by incumbent solutions.\n\n### Ask\n\nIf you know someone operating an elective care clinic or any talented folks that want to join us on our mission in any capacity (engineering, sales, ops, etc.), we’d love to hear from you.\n\n✉️ email us at [founders@decodahealth.com](mailto:founders@decodahealth.com)!\n\n💼 share our careers page with your talented friends: [link here.](https://app.dover.com/jobs/decodahealth)","slug":"Oyo-decoda-health-the-operating-system-for-elective-care","created_at":"2025-12-08T21:56:43.573Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T03:22:40.615Z","total_vote_count":17,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Oyo-decoda-health-the-operating-system-for-elective-care","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=96026\u0026key=user_uploads/1279796/65d5dc7a-69ef-430c-a89f-5d4376294f1a","company":{"id":28890,"name":"Decoda Health","slug":"decoda-health","url":"https://decodahealth.com/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/7f3b1efd47e85f38279cafba940ec0988913d113.png","batch":"Summer 2023","industry":"Healthcare","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","SaaS","Digital Health","Healthcare IT"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/28890"}}
