Counsel Health has secured $11M in Seed funding led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) Bio + Health for its physician-led, AI-powered medical advice platform.
The funding will support Counsel's national expansion and coverage extension to millions more members.
Counsel aims to address the access-to-care crisis in the US healthcare system by providing personalized medical advice from expert physicians within minutes. Its AI-powered system allows physicians to respond efficiently and precisely to patient inquiries.
Counsel's approach may lead to the development of a new medical specialty called Asynchronous Medicine, where providers specialize in delivering messaging-based care.
