Indian-Origin Techie Raises $55 million for AI Health Startup

The funding round was led by Sequoia Capital and included participation from existing investors, according to a company statement.

Khandwala, who previously worked at Google and McKinsey, launched Bunkerhill Health in 2021 after his father's heart attack revealed that an earlier scan had shown signs of risk that went unnoticed.

The company's AI algorithms analyze medical imaging, such as CT scans and X-rays, to flag potential issues like cardiovascular disease or cancer, helping radiologists prioritize urgent cases.

With the new capital, Bunkerhill plans to expand its clinical trials, seek regulatory approvals, and partner with more hospitals across the U.S.

The startup has already integrated its software into several health systems, and Khandwala says the goal is to make AI-assisted screening a standard part of preventive care.
