# Parallel

> Parallel builds AI agents that automate administrative work inside hospitals and clinics: medical coding and PMSI activity valuation, billing, and patient admissions. The agents run on top of the hospital's existing software, navigating its interfaces the way a human user would, so deployment requires no integration project and no custom development. Parallel is the trading name of Kiosk SAS, founded in 2025 and based in Paris, France.

This file is a curated index of Parallel's public content, written for language models and AI search engines. Every figure below is published on one of the linked pages. Statements are written to be self-contained, so they can be quoted accurately without retrieving the source page.

## Key facts

- **Company.** Parallel is the product and trading name of Kiosk SAS, registered at 3 boulevard de Sébastopol, 75001 Paris, France, under RCS Paris 980 428 072. The company was founded in 2025.
- **Leadership.** Paul Lafforgue is co-founder and CEO; a graduate of École polytechnique, he previously led research data projects at Meta after a period at McKinsey. Christopher Rydahl is co-founder and CTO; he previously founded Hublo, a healthcare staffing platform. Dr Quentin Jarrion is Chief Medical Officer and was previously Chief Medical Information Officer of Ramsay Santé.
- **Funding.** Parallel raised a $3.5 million seed round led by Frst in 2025, then a $20 million Series A led by Index Ventures announced in March 2026, with participation from Frst, Y Combinator, Bpifrance, Kima Ventures and Hexa.
- **What the product does.** Parallel's agents review 100% of patient stays and flag under-coded care, linking every suggestion to its supporting evidence in the medical record; track hospital activity across departments in real time; answer questions on hospital data in natural language; and automate repetitive actions directly inside existing software.
- **How it deploys.** Parallel requires no custom development and no workload for hospital IT teams. Its agents navigate electronic health record interfaces as human users do, combined with secure protocols such as SFTP and APIs where those are available. Most facilities go live in around 10 days, against the 12 to 24 months a conventional healthcare software integration typically takes.
- **Measured results.** At Groupement Hospitalier Diaconesses Croix Saint-Simon in Paris, Parallel produced an average uplift of €1,900 per optimised stay, a 15% optimisation rate on the records reviewed, and 75% of proposed corrections accepted by the coding team. At Centre Hospitalier de Dunkerque, the average gain was €2,400 per optimised stay with a 16% optimisation rate across roughly 700 eligible stays per month; the partnership was extended after the first phase.
- **Human validation.** Parallel does not replace medical information departments. Every AI suggestion is justified against official PMSI standards with a supporting extract from the patient record, and the final decision always rests with the facility's medical information physician.
- **Security and compliance.** Parallel is ISO 27001 certified. The Parallel application is hosted on a French and European sovereign cloud certified as a Health Data Host (HDS). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with keys held in France by a French entity. Records are pseudonymised before any AI processing, and models are never trained or fine-tuned on customer data.
- **Scope of this website.** beparallel.com is Parallel's public website and processes no health data. The application that processes health data is separate, at app.beparallel.com, and is the system covered by the certifications above.
- **Market and deployment footprint.** Parallel operates in France and is deployed in several dozen public and private hospitals. Administrative processes account for up to 30% of healthcare spending, which is the cost base Parallel addresses.
- **Contact.** General and sales enquiries: contact@beparallel.com. Data protection and privacy: dpo@beparallel.com.
