Decoda Health launches 🚀 The Operating System for Elective Care

Decoda Health (YC S23) is building the operating system for elective-care clinics.


Today, most med spas, wellness clinics, and aesthetics practices run on a patchwork of tools: scheduling platforms, charting systems, payment processors, and patient messaging apps. These systems rarely talk to each other, leaving clinics to manage operations across 5–10 disconnected products.

Decoda replaces that entire stack with a single AI-native platform designed to run the modern clinic.

Instead of stitching together multiple tools, clinics can manage everything in one place — from patient communication to documentation, scheduling, and payments.


AI Built Into Every Workflow

👨💻 Decoda embeds AI directly into the operational workflows clinics rely on every day.

The platform includes:

AI Front Desk
Answers patient calls, books appointments, and manages scheduling 24/7.

Ambient AI Scribe
Generates clinical notes in real time during appointments, reducing documentation time for providers.

All-in-One Operations
Handles scheduling, payments, memberships, and inventory management in one system.

Patient CRM
Automates follow-ups, reminders, and re-engagement campaigns to help clinics retain and reactivate patients.

By consolidating these workflows into one platform, Decoda helps clinics reduce administrative overhead while improving the patient experience.

Rapid Growth

Decoda is already gaining traction with elective-care clinics.

Today the platform is live in 150+ clinics, has processed $100M+ in transactions, and has grown 10x in the last six months.

Meet the Founders

Decoda Health was founded by Daniyal Afzal and Kevin Cheng and is backed by Y Combinator (S23).

The team set out to modernize the operational infrastructure that elective-care clinics rely on — replacing fragmented software stacks with a unified, AI-native system built for how clinics operate today.


🧨 The Problem

Elective-care clinics — including med spas, aesthetics practices, and wellness clinics — typically rely on a patchwork of disconnected tools to run their business.

Scheduling software manages appointments. A separate system handles charting. Payments and memberships live in another platform. Patient communication and marketing often require additional tools.

Because these systems rarely talk to each other, staff are forced to constantly switch between platforms just to manage daily operations.

This fragmented setup creates operational challenges across the clinic:

  • Missed calls and lost bookings
  • Time-consuming documentation for providers
  • Manual follow-ups and patient outreach
  • Operational complexity as clinics grow

Instead of focusing on patient care and growth, teams spend hours each week managing software and administrative tasks.


🎉 The Solution

Decoda replaces the fragmented clinic software stack with a single AI-native platform designed to run the entire practice.

Rather than stitching together multiple tools, clinics can manage operations in one unified system with AI built directly into key workflows.

Decoda’s platform includes:

AI Front Desk
Answers patient calls, books appointments, and manages scheduling around the clock.

Ambient AI Scribe
Generates clinical notes automatically during appointments, reducing documentation time for providers.

All-in-One Operations
Handles scheduling, payments, memberships, and inventory management within the same system.

Patient CRM
Automates reminders, follow-ups, and re-engagement campaigns to help clinics retain and reactivate patients.

By consolidating these tools into one platform, Decoda reduces administrative overhead while helping clinics deliver a better patient experience.
