Before starting her software company, Eunice Wu was a pharmacist. She was frustra ted that she spent most of her workdays performing tedious data entry and admin work rather than mixing medicines and advising patients. “It was fueled by my personal pain points working in a pharmacy,” Wu says. In 2023, she launched Asepha with cofounder Can Uncu to let AI software process handwritten prescriptions, verify medical codes and handle paper faxes (still common in pharmacies). Asepha, which is based in Toronto, also offers an AI-powered phone system to handle refills, send pickup notifications and more capably route patient inquiries. Wu says her machine-learning software can cut labor costs by nearly a third within the first month. The startup has raised more than $4 million.
