Luceahealth

Lucea Health develops AI-assisted software for pediatric nurse triage, combining workflow automation with protocol-aligned clinical context to support clinicians during triage calls. The stated aim is to shorten calls, reduce documentation burden and improve consistency across triage interactions, while clinicians retain full clinical judgment and authority.

The product spans the triage call end to end. An automated intake step organizes caller information — symptoms, concerns, timelines, patient age and other context — before the clinician joins the call. During the call, the system provides real-time workflow augmentation by surfacing protocol-aligned context and structuring information as it is gathered. Afterward, it generates a structured note for the clinician to review, edit and sign. A quality-insights layer surfaces call trends and workflow bottlenecks, supporting quality assurance, CPT review and practice performance visibility.

The company positions itself against AI tools that address only administrative tasks, emphasizing clinical intelligence applied to the triage encounter itself. It states that its platform is designed for HIPAA compliance, safeguarding Protected Health Information through technical, administrative and physical controls, and that it enters Business Associate Agreements with the practices it supports and with essential service partners.

Founding story

Lucea was founded by a pediatrician and a healthcare technologist, Caitlin King, MD and Kevin King. Inside the clinic, Caitlin's team faced continuous call volume, repetitive questioning and extended documentation time; outside the clinic, Kevin saw how modern intelligence systems could simplify that work. Kevin King serves as Founder and CEO; before Lucea he graduated from Duke, began his career at Goldman Sachs, earned an MBA from MIT Sloan, invested at General Catalyst, and co-founded 53 Stations, a $190M venture fund. Caitlin King, MD serves as Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer; she is a board-certified pediatrician trained at Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School teaching hospitals, and previously attended Duke, worked at Goldman Sachs, and completed an MBA at Brandeis University's Heller School with a focus on healthcare systems and policy.

The company states that it is built in collaboration with pediatric practices and is supported by investors; no customer counts, revenue or usage figures are disclosed.
