Ask someone what health AI looks like and they'll probably describe a chatbot that answers medical questions. Miami's health AI scene is doing a lot more than that.
Five local firms are applying AI to problems that never make the headlines. That includes legal-medical document review, veterinary care, cognitive screening, the regulatory-heavy back end of pharma and biotech and remote monitoring. None of them compete directly with each other.
Dodon.ai: Bridging Health Records and Legal Review
Dodon.ai works a different corner of healthcare entirely. The Miami startup builds AI tools that summarize medical records and deposition transcripts for law firms and insurers. What used to take hours of manual review now takes minutes. It's healthcare AI aimed at the legal system, not the exam room.
OpenVet: Clinical AI for Veterinary Medicine
OpenVet takes the "AI hospital" concept and points it at animals instead of people. Founded in 2025, the platform gives licensed veterinarians species-aware clinical support across more than 200 animal species. It has already caught real medication errors in beta testing before they reached a patient.
Boston Cognitive: Early-Stage Cognitive Screening
Not every health AI problem is about diagnosis. Boston Cognitive focuses on the years before a diagnosis even happens. The platform offers AI-assisted cognitive assessment aimed at catching early signs of decline. The company's underlying research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, an unusually rigorous foundation for a Miami startup this size.
Newpage Solutions: AI for Pharma and Biotech
Newpage Solutions takes yet another angle. It works behind the scenes for pharmaceutical and biotech companies building what health AI eventually runs on. The Miami firm, founded in 2012, provides AI and data engineering services to life sciences companies navigating strict regulatory requirements. One recent project used an AI-powered chatbot to cut support ticket resolution times from four days to under five minutes.
FitPeo: Remote Patient Monitoring for Chronic Care
Rounding out the group is FitPeo, which runs a remote patient monitoring platform built for chronic care. It connects patients to devices tracking blood pressure, glucose and oxygen levels. The AI itself sits in a narrower feature. Patients snap a photo of a meal, and the system analyzes protein, fat and carbs automatically. FitPeo has grown to more than two dozen employees since launching in 2021. That's squarely the size where local coverage genuinely moves the needle.
Five companies, five almost entirely different businesses, one shared label. That's a more accurate picture of what "Miami health AI" actually means than any single chatbot could give.
