About Lotus Health AI
Lotus Health AI, established in 2024 by co-founders KJ Dhaliwal and Zekka Nelson, is a physician-led medical practice operating at the intersection of artificial intelligence and primary care. The company is headquartered in Covina, California. CEO KJ Dhaliwal's motivation for founding the company stems from his personal experiences translating for his immigrant parents during medical appointments, which exposed him to the language and accessibility barriers within the U.S. healthcare system. Before venturing into healthcare, Dhaliwal successfully founded and sold the South Asian dating app Dil Mil for $50 million, providing him with a strong background in consumer technology.
Read full description
The firm has developed a digital platform that functions as a free, 24/7 primary care provider. Its core offering is an AI-driven system that delivers continuous primary care by integrating a patient's complete health data, including medical records, lab results, and information from wearable devices. This unified data allows the AI, trained on peer-reviewed medical evidence and clinical guidelines, to conduct initial patient interactions, synthesize information, and generate clinical assessments. A critical component of the model is the "Physician-in-the-Loop" system; all diagnoses, prescriptions, and care plans generated by the AI are reviewed and signed off by board-certified physicians from institutions such as Stanford, Harvard, and UCSF to ensure safety and accuracy. This approach is designed to increase physician productivity significantly by automating administrative tasks, allowing doctors to focus on clinical decision-making. The service is accessible in over 50 languages, directly addressing the language barriers Dhaliwal witnessed earlier in his life.
Lotus Health AI operates on a distinct business model that circumvents traditional insurance billing and direct patient fees. Patients can use the platform without charge and do not need insurance. Instead, the company generates revenue through premium sponsorships within its application. This strategy aims to build a large user base by removing cost barriers, with a focus on patient acquisition and product development before exploring other potential revenue streams like subscriptions or partnerships with employers or insurers. The company is a licensed medical practice in all 50 U.S. states, is HIPAA-compliant, and carries malpractice insurance.
The company has attracted significant investor interest, securing a total of $41 million in funding. This includes a $35 million Series A round co-led by Kleiner Perkins and CRV, with participation from notable figures like Joe Montana and former U.S. Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra. The capital is being used to expand the company's infrastructure, grow its clinical team, and scale the platform to serve a broader patient population across the United States. The company's valuation stood at $126.20 million as of early 2026.
