AI to Streamline Administrative Tasks

Improved Clinical Histories

Expansion Plans
Heidi Health, currently used by over 100 general practitioners in Australia, plans to expand its services both domestically and internationally. The startup is in talks with primary networks in Texas and the UK to introduce its AI platform to more clinics and healthcare systems.
