Latent Health
Clinical reasoning engine valued at $600M that ingests doctor's notes, lab results, and imaging reports to answer complex questions about patient history, with AI agents that compile evidence per insurer criteria and call payers for status.
Latent Health is building a clinical reasoning engine: an AI system that ingests data such as doctor's notes, lab results, and imaging reports and answers complex questions about a patient's medical history.
Its AI agents compile evidence based on the insurer's criteria and submit prior authorization requests after a human reviews them, and can call insurers on providers' behalf to check request status rather than leaving staff on hold. Co-founded by co-CEO Sriram Somasundaram, the company frames prior authorization as a human compute problem where payers and providers spend hours reviewing the same documents. Valued at $600 million per Forbes coverage in March 2026, with pharmacy and drug access as the initial focus.
