Infinitus Launches First Trusted Voice AI Agents for Healthcare

Proprietary hallucination-free AI agent architecture protects patients and providers in a proven enterprise-scale voice AI platform

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Infinitus Systems, Inc., the AI company that has powered more than 100 million minutes of healthcare conversations that accelerate care for over a million patients, today announced the first patient- and provider-facing voice AI agents built for use cases where trust is critical.

The Infinitus voice AI platform was built to ensure patients’ and providers’ trust in AI agents that can transform the patient experience with accurate, around-the-clock access to provider- or payor-curated expertise. Infinitus has advanced its proven multi-modal, multimodel platform for content-rich, often complex patient conversations that can include over 100 exchanges, ensuring they adhere to approved content and provider and plan procedures, as well as regulatory requirements. Infinitus is the first voice AI architecture to include four innovations designed to build trust with providers and their patients:

AI response control for trusted responses: A proprietary discrete action space leverages the power of LLMs to understand and facilitate conversations, while ensuring AI agents do not hallucinate or generate any responses that are inaccurate or outside of the approved standard operating procedure of customers or regulatory agencies.Specialized knowledge graph for trusted information exchange: The Infinitus knowledge graph allows agents to contextualize and verify information in real time, validating information provided by a patient or payor agent against trusted sources specific to the payor plan, treatment area, patient history, customer-provided knowledge bases, and more.AI review for trusted outcome: This automated post-processing and verification system incorporates human-level reasoning gathered from experience performing millions of tasks. The AI evaluates a conversation output to determine whether a response, as well as any extracted information, is accurate given the context of the task, providing a critical level of oversight that is impossible to achieve manually. When necessary, AI agents can flag a human and suggest follow-up actions.Robust security and compliance program for trusted processes: Infinitus adheres to SOC 2 and HIPAA requirements, which includes bias testing, protected health information (PHI) redaction, and data retention for secure, unbiased data handling.

While agents have been used widely in healthcare applications, they have not yet been purposefully designed to earn clinician and patient trust.

“As a patient, the most important questions come after hours, when care teams are off duty or asleep. AI agents can help reduce that anxiety and empower patients at any time, no matter where they are. But that can only happen when trust and accountability are built into the technology,” said Ankit Jain, CEO and co-founder of Infinitus. “We believe we are the first to deliver on the trust you should expect in healthcare at every level of our platform.”

Patient and Provider-Facing AI Agents
Infinitus’ AI agents can proactively call patients with prompts, requests, and follow-ups, as well as provide around-the-clock availability for patient calls to answer questions and provide assistance across their healthcare journey. AI agents improve healthcare literacy and support medication adherence, promptly escalating any reported side effects, particularly benefiting individuals managing chronic conditions or with specialty medication needs.

Provider-facing agents deliver accurate and reliable details to providers, helping simplify reimbursements for a seamless experience. Through automated calls to providers, Infinitus’ AI agents simplify care coordination and save time, ensuring the appropriate clinical documentation, signatures, or approvals are submitted, preventing delays and improving patient access to therapies. Infinitus’ provider-facing AI agents can also keep providers informed on treatments and policies, helping them deliver the highest-quality patient care without administrative burden.

Zing Health, a Medicare Advantage provider offering personalized care to chronically underserved populations across the U.S., has deployed Infinitus’ patient-facing AI agents to perform comprehensive member health evaluations to extend its staff resources and provide a more consistent experience.

“Infinitus has become a key part of our onboarding process by efficiently completing health risk assessments within the first 60 days of a new member’s journey. The health risk assessment is a vital step in Zing’s Model of Care. Responses provide early insights into our members’ healthcare needs, enabling us to deliver a personalized engagement, customized care, and dedicated support from the beginning,” said Meghan Speidel, COO at Zing Health. “Since deploying Infinitus AI agents, our team is able to focus on members with active and immediate needs, where focused attention has the highest impact.”

“In healthcare, only trust can unlock the full value of any innovation,” said Shyam Rajagopalan, CTO and co-founder of Infinitus. “We designed Infinitus’ AI agents to ensure clinical conversations are not only maximally valuable to patients and providers, but trusted and compliant during some of the most sensitive moments in a patient’s journey.”

Expansion of Payor-Facing AI Agents
New payor-facing AI agent offerings now support payors, for instance, in insurance discovery and prior-authorization follow-ups. New digital offerings include Medicare Part B and Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) look-up, enabling providers to reduce delays in verifying eligibility, helping patients receive the data necessary to access and afford care. Infinitus’ expanded payor-facing offerings reinforce the company’s commitment to reducing administrative burden and advancing innovation across the healthcare ecosystem.

This comes on the heels of securing a spot on Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025 list, honoring the healthcare businesses shaping the industry.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers. Businesses move more than $9 billion a year on licenses Sokin holds in 36+ countries and infrastructure Sokin owns. Founded in 2019, Sokin has raised over $100 million from investors including Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and Prysm Capital.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.

The Chelsea Foundation boasts one of the most extensive community initiatives in sport, helping to improve the lives of children and young people all over the world.
