The startup also aims to streamline healthcare facilities’ operations, advance clinical services, and improve clinical outcomes.

The company’s AI-powered HIS enhances the entire patient and healthcare provider journey. Its Clinical Decision Support (CDS) solution aids healthcare professionals by offering diagnostic recommendations using ICD-10 codes (International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision, a universal code for diseases). It enables tailored treatment suggestions and streamlined insurance claims processing for Indonesia’s Social Security Agency on Health (BPJS) and private insurers.

Nexmedis is also developing an AI-powered transcription tool that converts voice notes and summarises patient-doctor conversations into structured digital records. This system aims to minimise paperwork and streamline operations, enabling healthcare providers to focus more on patient care. The tool is slated for launch soon.

Yehuda Dani Utomo, co-founder and CEO of Nexmedis, stated that the investment would be a “game-changer” in innovating and delivering AI-driven solutions to healthcare, bridging the healthcare accessibility gap through technology.

Since August 2023, Nexmedis has served over 400 healthcare facilities. Its medical diagnostics AI has been recognised by the Ministry of Health in the Regulatory Sandbox programme. Nexmedis has also established official partnerships with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology for AI-powered health digitalisation and with leading institutions like Gadjah Mada University as a research partner.
