A former vascular surgeon turned health tech innovator, Dr. Kelly founded Heidi Health to alleviate the administrative burden that once limited his own clinical practice. The company’s AI scribe technology generates high-quality clinical notes, referral letters, and other documents, freeing clinicians to focus more on care and less on paperwork.

That vision has since fueled remarkable growth.

Under his leadership, Heidi Health has grown into a fast-scaling startup, supporting over 1.8 million patient interactions weekly across 50 countries and 200 specialties. In a recent U.S. pilot, 76% of 1,000 providers adopted the technology within six months, with 84% reporting reduced documentation time.

To date, Dr. Kelly has raised $26 million in funding and continues to expand internationally, positioning the company as a global leader in clinician-first AI solutions. Being named to Becker’s list highlights his commitment to innovation and his mission to double healthcare capacity worldwide through the adoption of AI.

About Heidi Health

Founded in 2019 by a team of medical professionals, Heidi has raised a total of USD $26 million to date, with backing from leading global investors.
