What they do

Problem

Specialty medical practices lose time and revenue due to fragmented, manual administrative workflows across disconnected systems.

Solution

Plena provides an AI operating system that automates end-to-end clinic admin workflows (referrals, fax intake, scheduling, compliance, and collections) across existing practice systems.

Who it's for

Specialty medical practices and their administrative/clinical operations teams.

Founders
