Avoca Systems on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Avoca is the AI patient access platform built for radiology. It integrates with a network’s existing systems and operational knowledge to automate calls, online scheduling, faxes, e-referrals and patient communications, from referral through to results and follow-up. Unlike generic scheduling tools, Avoca understands the clinical, operational and resource constraints behind every radiology booking, helping providers capture more demand, reduce administrative work and fill more scan capacity. (source)
  • Its own site describes it as: "Avoca automates calls, online scheduling, faxes and e-referrals for radiology networks." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Max Shand, Founder/CEO: Co-founder of Avoca, the operating system for outpatient radiology networks. Previously, exited founder of Serenade, innovative music merchandise platform for artists like Oasis, Yungblud and Lewis Capaldi. Formerly, first employee at Afterpay, helping scale from idea to $20BN exit to Block. (source)
  • Campbell Mercer-Butcher, Founder/CTO: Co-founder at Avoca Systems (YC S26). Principal engineer at Honey Insurance, Macquarie Bank, and Ailo. Built Macquarie's robo-advice platform, used by 1,000+ financial advisors, and automated claims processing at Honey, replacing manual review with instant decisions. (source)
