From the first stroke algorithm to the leading enterprise clinical AI platform, Viz.ai enters its second decade, backed by 125+ peer-reviewed publications demonstrating better patient outcomes
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Viz.ai, the leader in AI-powered disease detection and intelligent care coordination, today celebrates its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of transforming how healthcare teams deliver care for patients. The company launched in 2016 to solve a key problem: variability in healthcare means that many patients fail to get guideline based care, even in life threatening diseases like stroke. Since achieving the first FDA clearance for an AI platform and increasing treatment rates and reducing disability in stroke,1 Viz.ai has expanded across multiple diseases, and is now embedded in 2,000 hospitals serving an estimated 230 million patients with more than 50 AI care pathways spanning neurology, radiology, cardiology, oncology, pulmonology, and other disease areas.
"We've spent ten years building an enterprise-grade healthcare AI platform—an AI safety net that works consistently across hospital settings, and ensures every patient has the chance of guideline based care,” said Chris Mansi, MD, CEO and co-founder, Viz.ai.
Today, the Viz.ai platform helps one patient every six seconds. Peer-reviewed publications, independent analyses, and health system data show:
- Clinical impact: Viz.ai has consistently driven reductions in time to diagnosis, treatment, disability, and mortality— including a 74% reduction in in-hospital mortality risk in pulmonary embolism,2 23% reduction in post-stroke disability,3 and reduced diagnosis time in cardiac disease.4,5 Viz.ai’s clinical impact is backed by 125+ publications, including peer-reviewed studies in NEJM AI, JAMA Neurology, JACC, Circulation, and Stroke.
- Scale and validation: The company has earned recognition across the industry: Viz.ai has been rated #1 in AI-powered clinical decision support by healthcare professionals in the Black Book Market Research survey two consecutive years, ranking first in 13 of the 18 categories. The company also holds 13 FDA clearances—including the first-ever FDA de novo clearances for AI Computer Aided Triage and ECG-based cardiovascular management software—and was the first company to receive CMS reimbursement for AI software via NTAP.6
- Strategic Partnerships: Viz.ai's partner network includes Microsoft, Salesforce, and 14 leading life sciences companies.
"When we backed Viz.ai, the bet was if you build the AI System of Action for Healthcare, the patient outcomes will follow,” said Mamoon Hamid, Partner at Kleiner Perkins. “A decade later, that's exactly what happened. Viz.ai is now helping one patient every six seconds."
As Viz.ai enters its second decade, the platform has expanded from real-time detection and care coordination into agentic clinical intelligence at the point of care. Viz ingests multi-modal data, including imaging and EHR clinical history, and surfaces what matters, helping care teams identify high-risk patients earlier, coordinate specialists faster, and deliver guideline-aligned care consistently. Health systems can also build and deploy their own AI care pathways through Viz Agent Studio, which uses natural language on top of the Viz infrastructure trusted across 2,000 hospitals.
"UC San Diego Health was among the first comprehensive stroke centers to implement and rigorously evaluate Viz.ai, and we've published our findings in peer-reviewed literature—demonstrating meaningful, sustained improvements in patient care," said Alexander Khalessi, MD, Professor and Chair of Neurosurgery and Chief Innovation Officer at UC San Diego Health. "Over the past decade, adjacent use cases in cardiology and other specialties demonstrate the promise of AI models to improve diagnostic reliability and streamline processes of care. Clinical thought leadership means never missing a decisive moment for our patients.”
“The problem healthcare has never solved at scale is consistency. Patients with the same condition, even at the same institution, get meaningfully different care depending on who's on shift, which specialist is available, and how the handoff happened.” said Dr. Anthony Mazzarelli, Co-President and CEO, Cooper University Health Care. “What Viz.ai has built over ten years is infrastructure that makes the right thing easier to do than the wrong thing. That's rare. And it's what actually moves outcomes."
