Healthleap raised $38 million to scale hospital AI that flags patients who may have undiagnosed conditions.

Healthleap, founded in South Africa in 2022 by Jemima and Josiah Meyer, raised $38 million: an $8 million seed co-led by Sequoia Capital and First Round Capital and a $30 million Series A led by Hummingbird Ventures. Its platform connects to hospital electronic health records, uses language models on clinicians' notes, and combines that with labs and vitals to flag possible undiagnosed conditions such as malnutrition and delirium without diagnosing patients. It is deployed in more than 50 hospitals, including Penn Medicine, Cedars-Sinai, Intermountain, Houston Methodist, and Emory Healthcare. At the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Healthleap reported $23.8 million in annualized financial impact.
