Baba has raised $40 million in a Series A round led by FirstMark Capital, according to Fierce Healthcare. The company develops AI tools to help Medicare and Medicaid patients connect with care teams and handle advocacy tasks.
Why it mattersThe funding gives Baba capital to pursue a practical, high-stakes use of AI: helping people navigate healthcare. The report does not specify how the money will be spent, so for now the headline is the investment and the service Baba is building, not proof of patient outcomes.
Discuss: Should AI tools help patients navigate Medicare and Medicaid, or is that work better left to human advocates?
