Dashlabs.ai
A Manila-built platform that runs the back office of diagnostic labs and clinics across the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia: cashier, booking, machine integration and result delivery in one system.
From seven days to two
“These laboratories and clinics used to take seven to 14 days to process 500 to 1,000 patients,” Weston Coleman Lim, chief executive officer at Dashlabs.ai, told BusinessWorld in a videocall on September 13, 2024.
“After one year of using Dashlabs to help them facilitate the same bulk operations, it now only takes them 24 to 48 hours,” he added.
The gap sits in the space between a blood draw and a result a doctor can act on. Dashlabs.ai sells the software that closes it: a cashier and booking system, a link into hematology and chemistry analyzers, a link into DICOM-enabled x-ray and ultrasound machines, and an automatic PDF and QR-coded result that goes out to the patient and, where required, to an employer or manpower agency for regulatory sign-off.
The problem it set out to fix
“Due to the volume of patients, it’s easy to make a mistake,” Lim said in the same interview, adding that a technologist could miss an abnormal reading in the volume of results. Dashlabs.ai flags an abnormal result in red text automatically, work that a busy medical technologist would otherwise do by hand.
The company also says a third-party AI model reads x-rays for signs of disease. “The third party AI model tells us that if it’s abnormal, there’s a risk that a person has lung cancer or tuberculosis,” Lim said, describing how the tool is meant to help radiologists screen images for life-threatening disease. No FDA or Philippine FDA clearance for that screening feature turned up in this research, and the company has not named the third party whose model it uses.
Checkpoints, then a pandemic laboratory system
The company did not start as a lab vendor. In his own account of the founding, CEO Weston Coleman Lim wrote that the project began when he mapped COVID-19 military checkpoints near his home on Google Maps for friends and neighbors, then recruited classmates and a former teacher, Peter Martin Gomez, to build it out. “My friends and I started a bunch of projects that lead to www.dashlabs.ai. We got accepted in the Winter 21 batch of Y-Combinator,” he wrote.
That early team, Bryan Giger, Philly Tan, Miguel Gemotra, Jan Benedict Tiu and Gomez, built the government's Laging Handa and We Heal As One coronavirus tracking sites for free, then moved to the Philippine Red Cross, digitizing its patient intake and lab reporting. The system later reached Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Clark Airport. “Before our system, it took the Philippine Coast Guard 8 hours to process a flight of 250 patients. With our system, it is down to 1 hour,” Lim wrote of the airport rollout.
From pandemic tool to clinic platform
Dashlabs.ai carried that lab-reporting engine into Y Combinator's Winter 2021 batch and then into a broader Philippine clinic market. By September 2024 it counted more than 200 clinics nationwide, in Cebu, Davao, Metro Manila and parts of Luzon, and said it had processed 10 million patients. “We work with all kinds of clinics and healthcare partners from sophisticated ones that do work for major business process outsourcing companies for their annual physical exams,” Lim said, describing a pivot away from the airport and overseas-worker testing that had been its early business. “During the pandemic, that was the first time the country felt that we were held back by manual processes,” he said. “We had the machines to handle the volume, but we could not manage information properly.”
The company's own site now claims a larger footprint: 350 or more organizations, 20 million or more patients processed, and operations in four countries, though its own FAQ names only three: the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. Pricing is public and simple: a free tier, a ₱2,800 per branch monthly plan, and a custom enterprise tier with machine integration and multi-site reporting.
What is proven, and what is still claimed
| Evidence | What the record shows | Source type |
|---|---|---|
| Founding and YC | Founded 2020 in Manila. Accepted into Y Combinator's Winter 2021 batch, confirmed on Y Combinator's own company page and in the CEO's account of the founding. | Independent |
| Processing time claim | CEO says clinic turnaround fell from 7 to 14 days to 24 to 48 hours after a year on Dashlabs. Told to an independent reporter, not independently measured. | Interview |
| Patient volume, 2024 | “10 million patients nationwide” and “more than 200 clinics” as of the September 2024 interview. | Company-stated |
| Patient volume, 2026 | Company site claims 20M+ patients processed, 350+ organizations, and 4 countries, though its FAQ names only 3 countries live. | Company figures disagree with each other |
| AI x-ray screening | Company says a “third party AI model” flags lung cancer or tuberculosis risk on x-rays. Third party not named. No FDA or Philippine device clearance found for this feature. | Not found |
| Regulatory clearances | No FDA 510(k), FDA PMA, or Philippine FDA device record found under Dashlabs.ai, Dashboard Labs Corporation, or founder names. | Not found |
| Clinical trials, NIH, NSF, PubMed | None found tied to this company. The NSF award records pulled for the “Dashlabs” search are unrelated companies with “AI” in their names, not Dashlabs.ai. | Not found |
| Named customers | Testimonials on the company site name Dr. David Thomas Catapia, Dr. Paulyn Ubial, a former Philippine Secretary of Health, and Gabriel Cruz Jr. and Mariana Cruz. None independently confirmed beyond the company's own page. | Company-stated |
| Leadership | Weston Coleman Lim is named CEO in the September 2024 BusinessWorld interview and in a 2025 contact-data listing. Crunchbase, TheOrg, Seedtable, GetLatka and HealthTech Alpha instead list Bryan Giger as CEO and co-founder as of 2026. | Differs across sources |
Read plainly: the founding story, the Y Combinator batch and the clinic-software product itself are well corroborated. The scale claims, patient counts, organization counts, country counts and the AI screening feature, rest on the company's own word, and the company's own numbers do not always agree with each other. Who currently holds the CEO title is unsettled between a 2024 on-the-record interview and a set of startup databases that have not been updated to match it.
What to watch
- Whether Dashlabs.ai names the third party behind its x-ray AI model, or seeks any device clearance for it.
- Whether the CEO question settles: Weston Coleman Lim as of the 2024 interview, or Bryan Giger as several trackers still show.
- Independent confirmation of the 20 million patients and 350 organizations figures now on the company site.
- Whether the fourth country the homepage claims gets named, since the FAQ lists only the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia.
