Decoda Health: Autonomous Medical Coding & Billing
Jul 21, 2023 - Y Combinator
Hey there! We're Daniyal and Kevin, two mathematicians passionate about creating impactful software. Our experiences through high-growth medical imaging and fintech industries worldwide have equipped us with unique insights into the intersection of AI, healthcare, and finance.

Consequently, healthcare's lack of financial transparency frustrated him and his colleagues. While Daniyal worked in fintech then, Kevin developed machine learning software at a high-growth radiology-tech startup. We thought there must be something we could do.
Upon taking a closer look, we realized that the fundamental language through which money flows in healthcare is designed to be error-prone. This drew us to the problem of medical coding.
