‍ Updated June 11, 2025

Guidehealth, a healthcare technology and services‌ company specializing in artificial intelligence, recently secured a $10 million investment from Emory Healthcare. The funding is designed to‍ accelerate Guidehealth’s growth and strengthen both organizations’ commitment to transforming patient care,advancing disease prevention,and ‍expanding access to value-based healthcare.

The collaboration builds upon an existing relationship focused on enhancing primary care access and population health⁤ management for hundreds of thousands of individuals‍ across‌ Georgia. emory Healthcare and Guidehealth are already collaborating to improve health outcomes for over 400,000⁣ individuals.

Guidehealth’s AI platform proactively identifies and‍ manages chronic conditions such as‍ diabetes,⁢ hypertension, and heart disease, ⁣enabling earlier interventions.This technology allows Emory primary care​ and affiliate providers to better assess patient health needs and address chronic diseases proactively.

The model also integrates Healthguides, medical assistants trained in ⁢data science and empathy, who work ‍under licensed clinical professionals. This approach provides personalized patient support, driving⁣ measurable improvements in quality, access, and cost efficiency in healthcare.

“Healthcare is undergoing a transformation,and the ‍future belongs to those who can harness AI to deliver proactive,personalized and ‍truly accessible care,” said Dr. Joon Lee, CEO of⁤ Emory Healthcare. “Our relationship with Guidehealth ‌is‍ more than just an investment—it’s a step ‍toward‌ redefining how we manage chronic disease, close care gaps ​and engage patients before conditions become ⁢crises. By integrating AI-driven intelligence with human-centered care,we are creating a system where every ⁣patient gets the right ‌care ‌at the right time.”

The collaboration between Guidehealth and Emory Healthcare has already⁣ shown success. Last year, Guidehealth worked with Emory’s Population Health Collaborative (PHC) to improve Medicare quality scores for a major Medicare ⁤Advantage ⁣contract. In a few months, they closed care gaps for‌ a patient panel of 27,000, increasing the number of measures rated over 4 Stars on the CMS scale from one ​to six.

With the new investment, guidehealth plans to expand its platform for additional tech-healthcare services.‍ These include AI-powered virtual care navigation,which will assist with self-reported blood pressure readings and screenings for fall risks and depression. ​The company also plans to⁣ move from predictive to prescriptive analytics to provide more​ personalized care based on individual ​health⁤ needs.

“Our alliance ‌with Emory Healthcare accelerates this vision, using ⁢advanced analytics⁣ and AI to strengthen patient engagement and take⁤ on previously time-intensive work that extends the reach of care teams,” said dr. Sanjay Doddamani, Founder and CEO⁣ of Guidehealth. “By integrating predictive analytics, clinical expertise and human engagement, we are proving that technology can transform care, reducing disparities, expanding access and ensuring patients get the ⁤right care before they even realise they need it.”

What’s next

Guidehealth aims to further refine its ​AI-driven healthcare solutions, focusing on ‍personalized care and expanding its reach to more patients through innovative technology and strategic partnerships.
