When his wife got sick, this doctor turned to an AI chatbot to navigate her rare cancer diagnosis. Then he invested.
An AI healthcare chatbot helped Dr. Munjal Shroff support his wife through her cancer diagnosis. He ended up investing in the startup.
Dr. Munjal Shroff's wife experienced unexplained symptoms in the fall of 2025, including rashes, itching, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. Multiple doctors and extensive testing failed to provide a diagnosis. As his wife's condition worsened, Shroff sought an AI healthcare app to help manage and track her treatment. He discovered Healz AI, a healthcare AI assistant, and signed up for the service.
The app proved to be a crucial resource in her treatment, encouraging the couple to seek another opinion which ultimately led to her diagnosis of rare T-cell lymphoma. Shroff, impressed with the app's effectiveness, became an investor in the startup. Healz AI is a chatbot designed to assist cancer patients with their diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
The startup, backed by Alexey Dosovitskiy, a cofounder of Recursive Superintelligence, has raised over $650 million at a $4.65 billion valuation. Dosovitskiy invested in Healz because he believes AI can make a significant impact in healthcare, improving and saving lives. The company's app is not a standalone solution but rather a supplement to human doctors, helping patients understand their diagnosis, find oncologists, interpret scans and tests, and navigate treatment and recovery.
