AI startup Tandem Health raises $9.5m to scale its healthcare co-pilot
Swedish AI startup Tandem Health has raised a $9.5m seed round, led by Northzone and angel investors from OpenAI and Deepmind.

The company has 50 healthcare providers in Sweden and plans to expand across Europe. Tandem's key feature is an ambient scribe that listens during patient-doctor conversations, makes a transcription, and creates a draft for a medical note directly afterwards. The company uses OpenAI's GPT-4 and Whisper software for speech recognition and transcription. Tandem works with a mix of specialist clinics and general practitioners, and partners with journal system providers to reach a larger number of clinics. The company offers its software as a subscription service, charging 1,500 SEK (around €133) per month per user. The secured funding will be used to continue developing the tool and expanding overseas across Europe.
