## At a glance

- Company: O-Health
- What it does: Voice-first clinical AI that runs on edge hardware inside hospitals and turns consultations into structured notes
- Based in: Bengaluru
- Latest: Raised undisclosed strategic funding led by Dr Sangita Reddy
- Date: 2026-11-07
- Founders: Arunoday Singh, Akshar KR

O-Health, a Bengaluru clinical AI startup, has raised strategic funding from investors led by Dr Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals. The company did not disclose the amount. The Economic Times reported that the other backers include Singapore-based BugleRock Capital, Perpetual Capital led by Pranav Prashanth and Anvitha Prashanth, ACKO's Varun Dua and a Delhi-based family office, while Digital Health News and Elets eHealth also list Ankit Nagori of Curefoods.

The product is a voice-first platform that listens to the conversation between a patient and a doctor and turns it into structured clinical notes and assessment reports in real time. According to Digital Health News, it runs on the company's own medical speech recognition system and a set of small language models rather than large foreign models or paid outside APIs.

The unusual part is where the AI runs. The models sit on edge hardware installed inside hospitals and clinics, so patient data stays on the premises. That design also keeps the system working when the internet drops, a common problem in district hospitals and rural clinics, and cuts response delays.

Founded by Arunoday Singh and Akshar KR, O-Health has reportedly completed more than 50,000 clinical consultations, with deployments that include Yashoda Medicity in Delhi NCR. The company told ET that its journey has run from a rural healthcare prototype to a research collaboration with MIT, clinical validation at AIIMS New Delhi and expansion across several healthcare institutions. Reports also mention pilots being explored with state health authorities and a Gates Foundation grant.

The money will go into the on-device AI models and the clinical hardware that carries them, product engineering and manufacturing readiness, and fulfilling its existing order book across private and public healthcare. The company says it plans to move beyond outpatient pre-assessment into preventive health tools, connected clinical devices, hospital workflows and AI-assisted patient monitoring.
