BioticsAI founder on FDA approval, fundraising, and the reality of building in healthcare

BioticsAI received FDA clearance for its ultrasound AI copilot, which helps detect fetal abnormalities.

The startup built an early prototype for under $100,000 and won TechCrunch Startup Battlefield in 2023.

CEO Robhy Bustami says the company combined early regulator engagement, clinical studies, and clinician feedback to prepare for approval.

BioticsAI is now starting hospital deployments and plans to expand into broader reproductive health.
