Soma Lab - S24 Y combinator Companies
In this series on Unpod, we are exploring companies backed by Y Combinator and seeing how they're making a difference in their industries. Today, we're looking at Soma Lab, a startup that's transforming medical education with AI.
Medical schools are facing a growing demand for doctors, but traditional training methods, like using actors to simulate patients, just aren't scalable. That's where Soma Lab comes in. Their AI-powered simulations allow students to practice patient interactions before working with real patients. This provides flexible, on-demand training, helping medical schools keep up with the rising need for doctors without compromising quality.
Soma Lab was founded by Tiko Bdoyan and Vrishank Saini, who saw firsthand the inefficiencies in medical training. After Vrishank struggled with a clinical communications test, they developed an AI tool that drastically improved his performance. Seeing its potential, they expanded the technology to help medical schools and hospitals scale clinical training.
Now, Soma Lab's AI infrastructure is reshaping how medical students are trained, making it easier for schools to teach more students efficiently. If you're involved in healthcare—whether you're a doctor, student, or hospital administrator—Soma Lab could be a game-changer for you.
Stay tuned as we continue exploring more YC-backed companies like Soma Lab that are innovating and driving change in various fields.
