National I-Corps Alum IIAM Health Awarded NSF SBIR Phase II

National NSF I-Corps program alumni IIAM Health has been awarded a $1.25 million National Science Foundation (NSF) SBIR Phase II award to accelerate their work in AI-powered automation for optimizing new patient referral pathways. 

This funding supports the next phase of IIAM Health's LLM-enabled platform that intelligently processes incoming referral data, sharpens triage precision, and equips providers to deliver faster, more equitable specialty care.

“The NSF SBIR Phase II award is a tremendous milestone for IIAM," says co-founder and CEO Nicole Jiam. "It not only affirms the technical rigor and commercial potential of our work, but also provides the critical support needed to bring our AI-driven referral triage platform into more clinical environments. We're incredibly grateful to the NSF and the I-Corps community for believing in our mission to make specialty care more accessible, efficient, and equitable.”

Congratulations to IIAM Health co-founders Nicole Jiam, Kevin Xin, and Max Jiam on their continued success and support from the NSF!
