The story

Aiva was founded in 2016 as a voice-controlled patient communication platform using Alexa smart speakers in hospital rooms. It has since pivoted upmarket toward clinician-facing AI, launching a GPT-4-powered Nurse Assistant mobile app that provides ambient voice charting to Epic/Cerner and conversational control over 40+ hospital systems. The company sells enterprise SaaS to hospitals and senior living — no embedded finance products are offered.
