Overview

UnityAI builds an agentic AI platform that automates high-volume healthcare operations — patient scheduling/rescheduling, confirmations, referrals, insurance verification, and staffing/capacity coordination — with EHR integration and auditability. Founded by Edmund Jackson (former HCA Healthcare chief data officer) and headquartered in Nashville. In March 2026 the company closed an $8.5M Series A led by Third Prime, with Nashville Capital Network, Whistler Capital Partners, Max Ventures, Company Ventures, and other existing investors; total capital raised ~$15M after a 2024 seed. Company materials cite 300,000+ patient interactions per month with providers including Tennessee Oncology.
