Kahun, an evidence-based clinical reasoning tool for physicians, has raised $8 million in a seed funding round.
Kahun will use the funds to continue to build the largest ever map of evidence-based medical knowledge powered by AI.
The company will add new sub-specialities beyond primary care and expand its go-to-market efforts by offering gold-standard clinical assessments for telemedicine organisations.
Eitan Ron, Co-Founder and CEO of Kahun, said:
“This funding empowers Kahun to continue updating and improving the world’s largest map of evidence-based medical knowledge.
“The technology behind our AI-solution follows the same building blocks that trained physicians rely on.
“By using peer-reviewed texts and trusted academic literature from every area of medicine, we built a digital medical advisor that is trained to think like a physician and relieves the burden they face by integrating tools that they can trust into their workflows.”
Kahun has partnered with the New England Journal of Medicine, with the company providing evidence-based illness scripts tailored to specific clinical presentations to generate evidence-based, real-time insights for the NEJM Healer application.
The application is an interactive, online-education application for teaching, exercising and assessing clinical reasoning.
Jeffrey Drazen MD, Editor for NEJM Group, said:
“NEJM Healer medical experts harness the AI-driven content from Kahun to create highly-curated illness scripts to expand our case library and help educators teach clinical reasoning through deliberate practice.”
