#121: #AIRadarDaily — SPRY PT
There is a quiet, exhausting reality inside almost every physical therapy clinic. We ask highly trained therapists to restore movement and heal bodies, yet we force them to spend hours paralyzed behind a desk. They are made to wrestle with a fragmented, chaotic mess of software — one tool for scheduling, another clunky interface for clinical notes, and a completely disconnected portal for billing. The result is a burnout machine where therapists spend more time typing and chasing denied claims than actually treating patients. We have built a system that fundamentally distracts them from the very people they are trying to help.
It takes builders with profound operational empathy and architectural vision to look at this disjointed reality and build a platform that elegantly unifies it. That is exactly what Brijraj Bhuptani and Riyaz Rehman did when they founded SPRY PT in 2021.
With SPRY, Brij and Riyaz built a deeply intelligent, AI-native operating system purpose-built for physical and occupational therapy.
The engineering under the hood is beautiful in its clarity. SPRY replaces the fragmented stack with one fluid, autonomous workflow. It deploys AI to streamline complex clinical documentation, completely automates patient scheduling and intake, and most crucially features an embedded revenue cycle engine that autonomously scrubs claims for errors before they are ever submitted to insurance.
The true moat here is proactive financial resilience paired with clinical simplicity. SPRY doesn't just record data; it actively protects a clinic's revenue. By catching billing anomalies in real-time and eliminating the need for multiple expensive software subscriptions, it shifts the paradigm from chasing delayed payments to predictable, confident growth. It replaces the anxiety of disconnected tools with a quiet, reliable sense of clarity.
The market? Fast-growing physical therapy practices and rehab clinics across the US that are desperate to reclaim their time and their margins, allowing them to focus entirely on patient outcomes.
Brij is a true change agent, not just in how he builds, but in how he gives back. As a mentor for the inaugural AIBoomi (formerly SaaSBoomi) Vertical Velocity cohort, he has been instrumental in helping the next generation of AI-first healthcare founders escape the gravity of building for the US market from India. Watching founders of this caliber quietly rewrite the playbook for their industry while actively nurturing the ecosystem is a wonderful reminder of the larger, unfinished agenda we are all part of.
Every founder dreams of reaching orbit. Sometimes, all it takes is the right launch window. If you are building an AI-first healthcare startup and looking to experience the US market firsthand, applications for Vertical Velocity Cohort 2 are now live: https://lnkd.in/gnBbkA7g
Let's celebrate the builders.
