Avo Named to the 2025 New York Digital Health 100 by Digital Health New York (DHNY)
New York, NY (February 6, 2025) – Avo announced today that it has been named to the New York Digital Health 100 (DH100) for the second year in a row, a recognition that highlights the most exciting and innovative startups in New York. Digital Health New York (DHNY) publishes the annual list in conjunction with the 2025 New York Healthcare Innovation Report that analyzes the digital health sector's investment trends, challenges, and opportunities.
"As a company born and raised in New York, it is truly special to be recognized by DHNY and the greater New York community for developing our clinician support platform," expressed Joongheum Park, M.D., Co-Founder and Head of Product at Avo. "Avo's platform stands out because it is able to gather crucial clinical and system-specific information and convert them into practical tools within the clinician workflow. Utilizing cutting-edge technology and AI, Avo both drives efficiencies for clinicians and assists them in improving care delivery, making it unique in the clinical decision support landscape."
“Now in its sixth year, the New York DH100 has evolved and grown, and in that time, the digital health ecosystem in New York has also reached unprecedented levels of innovation and impact,” said Bunny Ellerin, co-founder and CEO, DHNY. “We are honored to celebrate these organizations, whose dedication to transformation and progress is driving the future of healthcare.”
Avo is based in New York City, where co-founders Dr. Joongheum Park, Dr. Yair Saperstein, and Laurence Coman met at Columbia University, united by their shared interests in clinical informatics and using AI to improve clinician burnout. Avo was built by clinicians for clinicians, with the goal of turning pages of guidelines and protocols into useful clinical tools. Avo started gaining traction through its EHR-integrated clinical pathways functionality, but now has developed Avo Assistants that simplify even more clinical tasks including decision making, pre-charting, care planning, documentation, ordering, and more. Avo Assistants improve clinical capacity through two key tools: Chart Synopsis and AI Scribe. Chart Synopsis synthesizes EHR data—notes, vitals, and labs—into structured summaries to streamline pre-charting, handoffs, and reimbursements. AI Scribe transcribes clinician-patient interactions in real time, producing notes with relevant patient data and evidence. Avo also recently launched its latest innovation, Ask Avo, which is a first-of-its-kind EHR-integrated AI consult tool that acts as a front-door for clinicians to ask any medical or patient question directly in their workflow. Clinicians ranked Ask Avo 35% more trustworthy than ChatGPT. Importantly, all of Avo’s tools require minimal-to-no IT resources for health systems to deploy in the EHR thanks to its “no code” Avo Builder.
Since its founding in 2020, Avo has rapidly scaled nationwide. Avo’s time-saving tools are deployed across major health systems, including Mass General Brigham, Driscoll Children's Hospital, Geisinger, Neighbor Health, and Ozarks Healthcare, spanning multiple specialties and use cases. Avo is also integrated and deployed across several different EHRs, specifically gaining significant traction within the Meditech and Athena markets due to Avo’s flexibility and ease of deployment. The Avo team is continually working towards rapid expansion across health systems and provider practices in the U.S., as well as investing in product features that significantly improve the clinical documentation, ordering, and decision-making experience.
