About Clarion

At Clarion, we're rebuilding how healthcare communicates in the age of AI. Today, clinics miss 30-40% of patient calls while staff drowns in administrative tasks. We believe AI agents should handle these workflows-scheduling, billing, prescription refills-so healthcare teams can focus on actual patient care.

We're building the communication infrastructure that modern healthcare desperately needs. Our AI agents don't just answer calls; they complete entire workflows end-to-end, giving providers back their time and ensuring patients never go unheard. We've already handled hundreds of thousands of patient interactions across virtual care companies, health systems, and a $5B health insurance company.

Founded by a Stanford/Harvard-trained physician who built Two Chairs and Ophelia, and an ex-Amazon Alexa engineer who led AI/ML at Salesforce, we uniquely understand both the clinical and technical challenges of transforming healthcare communication.

We've raised $5.4M from Accel, Y Combinator, Sequoia (scout) , and healthcare founders from Ophelia, Medallion, and Counsel Health. We're an in-person team based in New York, moving fast to ensure no patient call goes unanswered.
