What is Heidi?
Heidi is an AI platform for clinicians that removes much of the documentation burden from medical appointments. It records consultations and turns them into structured documents, so doctors and other medical professionals can focus on the patient instead of typing notes.
The company positions Heidi as a fully fledged AI partner for clinical practice, able to handle background work beyond note-taking. Its website describes it as an AI care partner for modern clinical practice.
Heidi was founded by Dr Tom Kelly, Waleed Mussa and Yu Liu.
In September 2026 Heidi secured $475 million in new capital. The core $140 million Series C was led by existing investor Blackbird, with contributions from Phoenix Court, Point72 Private Investments and Headline. A further $335 million in non-equity growth funding came from General Catalyst through its Customer Value Fund. The raise valued Heidi at $1.26 billion.
Heidi is relevant for GPs, specialists and clinics that want to cut admin time while producing consistent, structured records.
