Company profile
researched Aug 2026Develo, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based health software company that develops an end-to-end electronic medical record and practice-management platform built specifically for independent pediatric practices. The product unifies scheduling, charting, intake, billing and family engagement in a single system, replacing the combination of a traditional clinical EMR, a standalone intake tool and a separate billing system that many pediatric clinics operate today. The company positions the product as an AI-native operating system for pediatrics rather than an AI feature layered onto an existing adult-medicine EMR.
AI capabilities described by the company and its investors include an embedded AI scribe, automated pediatric charge capture, and chart and practice reporting intelligence, spanning clinical, billing and family-engagement workflows. The platform is FHIR-native and, according to a Medplum case study cited in a company profile, is built on Medplum and self-hosted in Develo's own AWS environment with multi-tenant separation for each pediatric practice.
Founding story
Develo was founded in 2022 by Aaron Sin, MD, who serves as CEO, and Han Ke, who serves as CTO, to address the fragmented tooling used by pediatric practices.
Business model
Develo sells software to independent pediatric practices, consolidating clinical records, billing and family communication into one platform in place of multiple point tools.
Traction
The company says its software is used by hundreds of pediatric providers across more than two dozen states, and reports that practices on the platform see an average net revenue increase of roughly 20% and about 10 hours saved per user per week.
Latest developments
In May 2026 Develo announced a $14 million round led by Blueprint Equity with participation from Villain Capital, Z21 Ventures and Bienville Capital, plus healthcare technology angels including CentralReach CEO Chris Sullens, Community CareLink executive chair Chris Barton and former Allscripts CEO Paul Black. Proceeds are earmarked for research and development and for expanding customer success operations.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history
Market position
Develo targets a pediatric care market that touches more than one-third of Americans and accounts for over 450 million visits annually, a segment described as still running heavily on legacy healthcare software. It differentiates from AI scribe and workflow-automation vendors that layer onto incumbent systems by rebuilding the underlying operating layer, and from legacy EMR vendors through a family-centered data architecture and integrated AI features.
The platform is purpose-built for pediatric care rather than adapted from software designed for adult medicine, is FHIR-native, and embeds AI in documentation and charge capture rather than offering AI bolt-ons to legacy systems. The company markets a family-centered data architecture as a further point of difference.
