Worki, a San Francisco-based healthcare workforce productivity visibility startup, raised $2.75 million in pre-seed funding led by Redesign Health and Healthliant Ventures, the venture arm of Tanner Health.
With this funding, Worki plans to expand its platform across additional health systems and continue developing its infrastructure to support more complex workforce environments. While the startup is initially focused on healthcare, it intends to extend its model to other complex, highly regulated industries facing similar operational challenges.
Worki developed a task-role AI architecture that creates an actionable roadmap that gives health system leaders visibility into how work is performed at the task level, where AI can be introduced, and what it means for their workforce, replacing guesswork with operational clarity.
Worki is currently working with health systems, including Tanner Health, BJC Healthcare, and other large organizations nationwide, with additional partnerships and expansions underway.
“Worki is building the infrastructure that healthcare organizations need to operationalize AI across their workforce, connecting fragmented systems and giving leaders clarity on where AI can augment and automate work,” said Neil Patel, Head of Ventures at Redesign Health.
Neil Patel added: “The founding team’s combination of advanced AI expertise and hands-on healthcare operating experience is exactly why we backed them.”
