Cent Raises $15 Mn To Scale AI-Led Preventive Healthcare Platform

Healthtech startup Cent, launched by Practo cofounder Shashank ND earlier this year, announced the raise of $15 Mn (about ₹143 Cr) in a Series A round led by Blume Ventures and existing investor South Park Commons (SPC), with participation from individual investors including former Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin and former OpenAI B2B CTO Srinivas Narayanan, among others. 

The fresh capital will be deployed to strengthen the preventive healthcare startup’s R&D function. Besides, the startup also intends to expand its AI, engineering and clinical teams. 

Apart from the fundraise, Cent also announced the acquisition of Medsee, an AI-powered radiology reporting workflow platform, to help it deliver faster and more consistent reporting as scan volumes increase.

Cent was launched by Shashank, along with ex-Ola Electric CMO Anshul Khandelwal and former Lenskart product head Arpit Garg earlier this year. It last raised a $5 Mn seed funding round back then from OneFlow Holdings and South Park Commons.

Bidding to build a positioning of helping users live a hundred years, Cent combines precision radiology, AI, and biomarkers to screen asymptomatic patients for over 300 conditions like cardiac disease, cancer, and neurological disorders.

Its flagship offering, Cent Check, combines full-body MRI, low-dose CT, DEXA scans, ECG, echocardiography in a single visit lasting around two hours. Its proprietary CCNM protocol is designed to assess cancer, cardiac, neurological and metabolic health risks. 

It uses AI to consolidate findings from different diagnostic modalities and generate organ-level risk assessments, while AI-assisted imaging helps reduce MRI scan times, with an aim to identify serious conditions before symptoms begin to surface.
