Kry embeds AI into clinical workflow
Johannes Schildt & Claes Ruth, CEO and CFO of Kry, on the AI future of telehealth
This shows that Kry sees AI as a way to change the unit economics of care delivery, not just to trim overhead. In practice, that means using models inside the clinical workflow itself, before, during, and after the visit, to gather symptoms, suggest diagnosis codes, help with medical coding, and cut clinician admin time. For a telehealth provider paid per visit or per enrolled patient, every minute saved inside the consultation directly improves margin and throughput.
-
Kry already described a concrete workflow where patients answer intake questions first, the system organizes symptoms and likely codes, then a doctor reviews and approves the recommendation. That is very different from using AI for support tickets or marketing copy, because it sits inside the medical encounter itself.
-
Kry has the ingredients that make this useful at scale, patients, clinicians, payer contracts, prescription and lab integrations, and in some markets physical clinics. That lets AI route a patient to self care, video consult, lab work, or in person follow up inside one system, which is much harder for a standalone scribe or chatbot vendor.
-
The closest comparables, Abridge, Ambience, and Freed, mostly sell workflow tools to providers. Kry is using the same kind of model capability inside a full stack care business, where better coding and faster visits can lift reimbursement, increase visit capacity, and support capitated contracts, not just software subscription revenue.
The next step is AI taking over more of the front door and administrative layer of primary care, while clinicians stay in the approval loop for higher stakes decisions. As that happens, telehealth companies with real patient volume, payer relationships, and integrated care pathways should widen the gap over point solution vendors and legacy providers that only bolt AI onto existing workflows.
