Clarion raises $10M seed from Accel and YC to build AI agents for medical practices

Clarion announced a $10M seed round led by Accel with Y Combinator participation. Founder Ryan Gallagher, a physician trained at Stanford and Harvard for a decade, argues that the US's 200,000+ medical practices run on decades-old technology and razor-thin margins: medicine digitized the patient chart 20 years ago but never the practice itself—its operating rules live in sticky notes and managers' heads, making practices 'illegible to AI.' Clarion learns how a practice works from every call, message, and document, builds a world model of it, and runs agents on top to handle operations.
