RevelAi Health Secures $3.1 Million Seed Funding to Scale Artificial Intelligence Care Coordination for Musculoskeletal Health

DURHAM, N.C., June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RevelAi Health, a conversational artificial intelligence (AI) platform built for musculoskeletal care, has closed an oversubscribed $3.1 million seed round led by Ulu Ventures and Symphonic Capital, with participation from Orthopedic VC, Sand Hill Angels, and a consortium of nationally recognized orthopedic surgeons.

Musculoskeletal disorders now account for the largest share of U.S. health-care spending—exceeding $420 billion annually—while the country faces a projected shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. Meanwhile, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is moving hospitals toward mandatory downside-risk bundles for joint replacement, fracture care, and other orthopedic episodes, aiming for universal value-based coverage by 2030.

"Musculoskeletal care is shifting from single-visit encounters to population-level accountability just as clinical teams are stretched thin," said Christian Pean, MD, MS, orthopedic trauma surgeon, faculty member at the Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy, and Founder & Chief Executive Officer of RevelAi Health. "RevelAi gives organizations an AI-first operating layer that lets them succeed in that reality."

RevelAi functions as a 24/7 virtual care navigator for orthopedic practices and care organizations: it answers calls with evidence-based triage, collects mandated quality reporting questionnaires by voice or text, and converts every phone, video, or in-person encounter into a structured note with clinical documentation codes and automated risk flags. Episode-wide workflows trigger Principal Care Management, Transitional Care Management, and preoperative optimization tasks that align each patient's journey with CMS's new Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) bundled payment model and other value-based initiatives—without extra staff clicks. All clinical content and decision logic are continuously refined by RevelAi's advisory group of board-certified orthopedic surgeons, ensuring each recommendation remains guideline-concordant and purpose-built to accelerate value-based musculoskeletal care.

"RevelAi's AI agents close care gaps, curb avoidable emergency department visits, and simplify quality reporting—without adding staff," said Ronald Delanois, MD, Chairman of the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics at LifeBridge Health in Baltimore, Maryland.

From my perspective, conversational AI is essential for succeeding in value-based mandates like the Transforming Episode Accountability Model", said Joseph Zuckerman, MD, Chair of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Langone Health.

RevelAi means great musculoskeletal care can be paired with surgical excellence and robust social-care support. It can reduce readmissions, close care gaps for underserved patients, and deliver true population-level orthopedic health. "RevelAi has already automated thousands of care conversations," said Clint Korver, Managing Director at Ulu Ventures. "They're proving AI-powered orchestration can scale now, lightening clinicians' workload and elevating the patient experience. We're proud to back a team poised to become the essential AI backbone for modern health systems."

"We're building the AI console that turns every touchpoint into coordinated action," added Hadi Javeed, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer.

The seed capital will deepen electronic health record and practice-management integrations, expand the company's library of AI-collected outcome surveys and risk pathways, grow engineering and research teams, and accelerate collaborations with health systems, specialty societies, and ambulatory surgery center networks.
