Healthcare AI company Healthleap has raised $38 million across seed and Series A financing to advance its platform for identifying hospital patients who may benefit from earlier clinical review.
The funding includes an $8 million seed round co-led by Sequoia Capital and First Round Capital, alongside a $30 million Series A led by Hummingbird Ventures. Founded in South Africa in 2022 by Jemima and Josiah Meyer, Healthleap began with tools for clinical nutrition teams before expanding into broader inpatient risk detection.
Turning clinical records into actionable signals
Healthleap connects with electronic health record systems and combines structured data, including laboratory results, vital signs and medications, with information contained in clinicians' written notes. Its language models can identify relevant details such as appetite changes, weight loss or swallowing difficulties, then feed those signals into risk models.
The software is designed to support clinical teams, rather than diagnose patients. Each day, it provides care teams with risk scores and patient trends within existing workflows, helping staff prioritize cases that may require further assessment.
The platform is active in more than 50 hospitals and currently supports screening for malnutrition and delirium. Additional programs targeting aspiration pneumonia, pressure ulcers and congestive heart failure readmission risk are progressing through clinical validation.
Scaling across hospital care
Healthleap's customers include Penn Medicine, Cedars-Sinai, Intermountain, Houston Methodist and Emory Healthcare. The company reports more than tenfold revenue growth over the past year as its hospital network expanded from three partners to over 50.
At the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Healthleap says its malnutrition program generated an annualized financial impact of $23.8 million, supported by shorter hospital stays and reimbursement improvements.
The new investment will support engineering, product development, commercial growth and customer success. Healthleap aims to cover more than 40 major health conditions over time, while extending its technology into outpatient and home-care settings. As AI becomes more deeply integrated into clinical workflows, tools like Healthleap could help healthcare teams deliver more proactive, data-informed care.
