Background
Zeya Health, a healthcare tech startup in Singapore, raised $575,000 in pre-seed funding from venture firm Antler and several strategic angel investors. The fresh capital will help the company speed up product development and expand deployments across Asia-Pacific, as clinics face rising patient loads and limited administrative capacity.
Zeya Health created an AI front desk that links directly to clinics’ electronic medical records and tools like WhatsApp. The system takes care of routine tasks like appointment reminders, follow-ups, rescheduling and patient engagement, so medical staff can focus on caring for patients. The company said its partners can start using it in under 48 hours without changing their current systems or workflows.
The funding comes as the region’s healthcare market moves towards a projected value of $5 trillion by 2030, even as shortages of healthcare professionals deepen. Zeya said this gap has created strong demand for tools that reduce manual workload without adding complexity.
Since August, the company has reported over 20 times growth in clinic onboarding and has sustained month-on-month expansion of nearly two times. It is now working with larger healthcare groups to standardise processes and improve patient experience at scale. AcuMed, a leading healthcare provider in Singapore, is currently assessing a pilot across several clinics.
Antler Partner Winnie Khoo said the Zeya team has moved quickly to solve a long-standing problem in healthcare operations. She said early traction shows both the urgency of the issue and the founders’ ability to deliver.
Zeya was founded by CEO Agastya Samat and CTO Pasindu Wijesena, who have worked on large digital health and AI projects across the UK, the Middle East and Asia. The company will now hire forward-deployed engineers and clinical deployment specialists to support its next growth phase and plans to enter new care segments and regional markets in 2026.
