Can AI agents reduce the staff and coordination costs of healthcare?
Consider the scale:
- $800B+ spent annually on US healthcare staffing
- $200B+ spent on healthcare IT
- Potential shortage of 3M (!!!) healthcare workers by 2030
Yet appointments, insurance, referrals, and prescriptions still require coordination across fragmented systems.
Confido Health is building AI agents that connect patients, providers, insurers, and pharmacies to execute and automate these workflows.
If AI can reduce the administrative burden for existing healthcare teams, the impact extends beyond productivity… to the capacity of the healthcare system itself.

Medicine has added decades to our lives, yet patients still lose weeks to paperwork.
We’re building AI agents to give healthcare teams more capacity to care.
