MediScan AI, a Seattle startup using artificial intelligence to help medical professionals evaluate patient records, raised $1.4 million in funding, the company announced Friday.
MediScan’s platform can quickly scan records — including typed and hand-written notes — and generate summaries and comprehensive reports, reducing the time it takes human evaluators to perform such tasks. The startup has positioned itself at the intersection of medicine, insurance and legal industries.
Launched in 2024, MediScan was co-founded by CEO Kavian Mojabe and COO Sean Podvent.
Mojabe, who previously worked as a software engineer at Amazon, said he witnessed the challenges and inefficiencies in the medical evaluation process while growing up around his father’s chiropractic office.
“Medical evaluators are the hidden lynchpin in determining the validity of everything from workplace injuries to personal injury claims, yet they’re using technology that hasn’t evolved in decades,” he said in a news release. “Our platform has shown we can double their case throughput without sacrificing quality.”
Along with the ability to generate reports, the MediScan platform also organizes records in chronological order, features AI search and chatbot functionality, and allows for team collaboration.
“We’re not just applying general AI to medical documents,” said Podvent, who previously founded and sold health-tech startup Hygiene IQ. “Every interaction between a physician and our platform further refines our models to think like a medical expert, creating an ever-widening competitive moat.”
The company has seen early traction, signing close to 100 deals since launching its payment structure last June. Physician-evaluators have collectively processed more than 14,000 cases through the platform.
The new funding, led by Tidal Ventures, will be used to boost product development and expand the engineering and sales teams.
MediScan employs eight people and is anchoring 2,000 square feet of space on the second floor at Foundations, the Seattle community for tech startup founders.
Mojabe, who was recently featured in GeekWire’s startup radar spotlight, said the startup is just scratching the surface of what’s possible.
“Our platform is already being used for more than just standard evaluations — about 20% of our users are personal injury and malpractice lawyers who discovered our product delivers better results than legal-specific AI tools,” he said. “As we expand, we’re positioned to become the central intelligence layer for all MedLegal decision making, potentially saving billions in administrative costs while ensuring better outcomes for everyone involved.”
