Its AI platform mines clinicians' written notes and structured EHR data to flag hospital patients at risk of undiagnosed conditions like malnutrition and delirium, now deployed in over 50 hospitals including Penn Medicine, Cedars-Sinai, and Houston Methodist, with revenue up more than 10x in the past year. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What does Healthleap's AI platform actually do in hospitals? It analyzes every adult inpatient's record each night, including lab results, vital signs, weights, medications, diet orders, diagnoses, and clinicians' written notes, using language models to extract clinical concepts like recent weight loss or trouble swallowing. Each morning it writes a risk score into the care team's workflow, flagging patients who may need closer review for conditions like malnutrition or delirium, without making diagnoses itself. _Developers building healthcare AI tools follow funding and product milestones like this one on daily.dev._ ### How much funding has Healthleap raised and who are the investors? Healthleap raised $38 million total: an $8 million seed round co-led by Sequoia Capital and First Round Capital, plus a $30 million Series A led by Hummingbird Ventures. The company, founded in South Africa in 2022 by siblings Jemima and Josiah Meyer, did not disclose its valuation, and its customers now include Penn Medicine, Cedars-Sinai, Intermountain, Houston Methodist, and Emory Healthcare. _Track healthtech funding rounds like this one on daily.dev to spot where engineering investment is heading._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Bunkerhill Health raises $55M for healthcare AI agents](https://daily.dev/posts/bunkerhill-health-raises-55m-for-healthcare-ai-agents-z4tnx2slz) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Lotus Health nabs $35M for AI doctor that sees patients for free](https://daily.dev/posts/lotus-health-nabs-35m-for-ai-doctor-that-sees-patients-for-free-hmfqwka6r) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Function Health raises $298M Series B at $2.5B valuation](https://daily.dev/posts/function-health-raises-298m-series-b-at-2-5b-valuation-rj2zkc2vn) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Stepful raises $55M to train healthcare workers with AI](https://daily.dev/posts/stepful-raises-55m-to-train-healthcare-workers-with-ai-jszi6xhvo) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#startup](https://daily.dev/tags/startup), [#health-tech](https://daily.dev/tags/health-tech) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/healthleap-raises-38m-for-its-ai-that-flags-hospital-patients-who-may-need-a-closer-look-2lorng0wl) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Healthleap raises $38M for its AI that flags hospital patients who may need a closer look","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/healthleap-raises-38m-for-its-ai-that-flags-hospital-patients-who-may-need-a-closer-look-2lorng0wl","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/healthleap-raises-38m-for-its-ai-that-flags-hospital-patients-who-may-need-a-closer-look-2lorng0wl"},"datePublished":"2026-10-07T15:09:55.212Z","dateModified":"2026-10-07T15:11:58.140Z","description":"Healthleap, a startup founded in South Africa in 2022 by siblings Jemima and Josiah Meyer, has raised $38 million across an $8M seed round (co-led by Sequoia...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/f3073fa734cc4931e5c0aece4ee74fe3?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/f3073fa734cc4931e5c0aece4ee74fe3?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"TechCrunch","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"TechCrunch","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tc","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/healthleap-raises-38m-for-its-ai-that-flags-hospital-patients-who-may-need-a-closer-look-2lorng0wl","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"startup,health-tech","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"TechCrunch","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tc"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Healthleap raises $38M for its AI that flags hospital patients who may need a closer look"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/healthleap-raises-38m-for-its-ai-that-flags-hospital-patients-who-may-need-a-closer-look-2lorng0wl#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What does Healthleap's AI platform actually do in hospitals?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It analyzes every adult inpatient's record each night, including lab results, vital signs, weights, medications, diet orders, diagnoses, and clinicians' written notes, using language models to extract clinical concepts like recent weight loss or trouble swallowing.
