Dan Vahdat, founder and CEO of Huma, stated that the Huma Cloud platform is akin to Shopify in the digital health sector, aiming to promote the application of digital and AI technologies in healthcare and research. At its core, the platform features a generative AI-driven building tool that allows users to leverage a rich array of modules, templates, and disease management tools. These elements can be combined through a drag-and-drop interface to enable personalized app development.
Huma has recently completed a $80 million Series D funding round and plans to use the funds to expand the platform's reach and enhance its capabilities. Currently, Huma's cloud platform is being piloted by some startups and large pharmaceutical companies, enabling the launch of apps within days.
Huma's configurable platform has served over 3,000 hospitals and clinics, with over 35 million users participating in its projects. Vahdat mentioned that Huma aims to support a new generation of digital health entrepreneurs through this new platform, making it easier for them to develop regulatory-compliant digital health applications.
Currently, Huma's cloud platform is only available to selected startups and pharmaceutical companies, with users charged through a subscription model or based on usage. Huma plans to expand the testing scope in the coming months and accept more applications. With this platform, users without technical backgrounds can easily create medical solutions through rapid prototyping and testing.
Huma's cloud platform is competitive with other AI application development solutions such as AWS App Studio, but Huma emphasizes its focus on the healthcare industry and its approval by global regulatory agencies. Huma aims to use this platform to help address the many challenges of AI technology application in healthcare and promote the upgrading of medical services.
