Zeya Health Secures $575,000 Pre-Seed Funding to Automate Clinic Administration

Singapore-based health-tech startup Zeya Health has successfully raised $575,000 in a pre-seed funding round to expand its AI-powered virtual front desk across the medical sector. The investment was led by global venture capital firm Antler, with participation from several strategic angel investors. This capital injection follows a period of rapid traction for the company, which reports a twentyfold increase in clinic onboarding since August 2025.

The platform provides an automated administrative layer that sits between medical clinics and their patients. By using artificial intelligence to handle bookings, reminders, and insurance inquiries through WhatsApp, the system significantly reduces the manual workload for medical staff. Unlike traditional software that requires extensive training, Zeya operates in the background and integrates directly with existing Electronic Health Record systems such as Plato, SGIMed, and ClinicAssist.

The technology focuses on zero-friction implementation, claiming a live deployment time of under 48 hours for new clients. The AI learns specific clinic workflows automatically, enabling it to manage end-to-end tasks like rescheduling and follow-ups without human intervention. This approach directly addresses the chronic labor shortage in the healthcare sector by offloading repetitive tasks that often consume over 100 hours of staff time per week.

Founded in early 2025 by Agastya Samat and Pasindu Wijesena, the startup was born out of a need to modernize the patient experience in Southeast Asia. Samat brought experience from digital health deployments in Europe and the Middle East to help solve local administrative bottlenecks. Their initial success is validated by prominent Singaporean practitioners at EHA Clinic and EDGE Healthcare, who report significant reductions in staff stress and operational costs.

Looking ahead, Zeya Health plans to use the new funding to bolster its engineering team and expand its footprint into larger healthcare groups. The company aims to standardize automated workflows at scale, moving beyond individual private practices to serve multi-branch medical organizations. Investors expect the platform to continue its rapid growth as it targets a broader market of providers struggling with rising labor costs and patient volumes.
