Sequoia, Y Combinator back RedBrick AI

RedBrick AI, a healthtech platform, has raised $4.6 million in a seed funding round led by Sequoia India and Southeast Asia’s Surge with participation from Y Combinator. The startup is looking to solve the key challenge to healthcare AI adoption – providing clinicians with high-quality data annotation tools that accelerate the preparation of training datasets. The use of AI in healthcare stands to transform patient care by boosting clinician productivity and automating clinical diagnosis. In 2021 alone, the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved 115 AI algorithms for use in medical environments, an 83% increase from 2018. The new funds will be integral to the growth of our engineering team in India and to expand our suite of products, . . .
