New York-based healthcare AI startup Chromie Health has secured $2 million in pre-seed funding to accelerate the development of its AI-powered hospital workforce management platform. The funding round was led by AIX Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm focused on AI-native startups. Founded in 2024 by Douglas Ford, Scott Tisoskey, and Patricia Ford, Chromie Health is building intelligent AI agents designed to automate hospital staffing, scheduling, and workforce coordination workflows. The company’s flagship solution, Chromie Dispatch, uses SMS-based AI automation to help hospitals rapidly fill open nursing shifts and reduce operational bottlenecks. According to the company, the platform can fill staffing gaps up to 60 times faster than traditional manual scheduling processes. Chromie Health stated that its lightweight infrastructure requires no complex IT integrations and does not expose patient data, making deployment easier for healthcare systems. The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand its engineering and AI teams while developing additional AI agents focused on streamlining hospital operations, workforce optimization, and administrative coordination across healthcare networks. The funding reflects the growing momentum behind AI-driven healthcare operations platforms as hospitals increasingly seek automation tools to address staffing shortages, reduce burnout, and improve patient care efficiency.
