Pablo Bermudez-Canete is a Spanish-American entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Paratus Health, a healthcare technology company that develops AI-powered voice agents to automate administrative operations in outpatient clinics. The company was part of Y Combinator's Winter 2025 batch.[1]
Early life and education
Bermudez-Canete attended the American School of Barcelona, graduating with the Class of 2023. He subsequently enrolled at Stanford University as a member of the Class of 2027. He has taken time away from Stanford to work on Paratus Health full-time.[2]
Career
Bermudez-Canete co-founded Paratus Health in 2024 alongside Tannen Hall, a fellow Stanford student (Class of 2027) who serves as the company's CTO. Hall's personal experience — spending nine years seeking a diagnosis for a rare genetic disease — informed the company's focus on reducing inefficiencies in clinical workflows.[2]
Paratus Health builds autonomous AI agents designed to handle core administrative tasks in outpatient clinics, including front desk phone calls, patient intake, insurance verification, clinical documentation, and billing preparation. The platform integrates directly with major electronic health record (EHR) systems such as Epic and Athena, aiming to replace fragmented tools and reduce manual work for clinic staff.[3]
The company was accepted into Y Combinator in January 2025 as part of the Winter 2025 batch. It is based in Menlo Park, California. In a December 2025 interview with The Stanford Daily, Bermudez-Canete described the core problem the company addresses: "One primary care physician is responsible for 3,500 patients. Healthcare is the only industry where the real ratio should be one physician to one patient." He noted that within three months of founding the company, Paratus Health had raised approximately $3.5 million and expanded operations to approximately 15 states.[2]
As of early 2025, the company had six employees.[1]
