< + > Implicity Secures $40M Growth Equity Funding to Scale its AI-Driven Cardiac Monitoring Platform Globally

  • The Round is Led by Growth Fund IRIS Alongside Five Arrows
  • Funding Will Fuel Implicity’s Next Phase of Growth in the US Through Local Commercial Hires, Build on Its Established Leadership Across Europe, and Accelerate Further AI Investment
  • Implicity Already Serves Over 250 Medical Centers and Monitors 120,000+ Patients Daily Across the US, France, and Germany

Implicity, a global leader in AI-driven cardiac remote monitoring, has secured a $40 million funding round led by European tech growth capital firm IRIS, alongside Five Arrows, the alternative assets arm of Rothschild & Co.

Enabling Clinicians to Act on Cardiac Data at Scale

Remote patient monitoring has become the standard of care in cardiology following the 2023 HRS/EHRA/APHRS/LAHRS Expert Consensus. Today, care teams manage more sources than ever, from cardiac implantable electronic devices to heart failure monitoring. While each new data stream provides valuable clinical insight, it also adds complexity for the clinicians piecing the full picture together. Too much time is spent navigating multiple systems and triaging alerts to identify events that require action. This administrative burden reduces time available for direct patient care, potentially delaying responses to the events that matter most.

Implicity helps to solve this with a single, AI-driven platform that aggregates, normalizes, and analyzes data across the full continuum, regardless of device manufacturer. It also integrates with EHRs to streamline providers’ workflow. By bringing every signal into one intelligent view, Implicity lets clinicians spend less time searching through the noise and more time on patient care.

“I didn’t become a physician to manage data — I became one to treat patients,” said Dr. Arnaud Rosier, Electrophysiologist, Co-Founder and CEO at Implicity. “This funding lets us care for patients at scale, catching the information through the noise to provide the best possible care — and that’s the future of cardiology I’ve been chasing since my first year as an electrophysiologist.”

Proven Clinical Impact and Market Traction

Unlike traditional remote monitoring solutions, Implicity has built deep clinical credibility through its FDA-cleared AI algorithms and extensive real-world evidence. Patients monitored with Implicity have seen a 26% reduction in mortality and a 4% reduction in hospitalizations, compared to those on conventional remote monitoring. SignalHF, Implicity’s heart failure prediction algorithm, gives clinicians early visibility into a patient’s heart failure risk to support earlier identification and intervention. The platform’s ECG Analyzer feature also reduces false alarms by up to 76%, so clinicians spend less time sorting through alerts and more time with the patients who need them most.

The fundraising will support Implicity’s next phase of growth in the US. The company has built its hospital network on the ground from its Cambridge, MA base, earning the endorsement of clinicians and forging partnerships with local physicians. The round will be used for commercial hiring to widen that footprint and the development of US-specific features for one of the world’s largest healthcare markets. It will also fund continued investment in the company’s AI and innovation roadmap — including the next generation of Heart Failure prediction algorithms — to better serve medical teams and optimize care for remotely monitored patients.

Nicolas Herschtel, Partner at IRIS’ Growth team, added, “In the evolving healthtech landscape, long-term success requires a rare combination of robust technology, strict regulatory clearance, and undeniable clinical utility. Implicity has proven to be a highly trusted partner to complex health systems because its platform directly addresses the administrative and operational crisis facing hospital workforces today. We are thrilled to back the team as they cement their leadership in the US market and drive the next phase of digital healthcare infrastructure.”

François-Xavier Lehman, Director at Five Arrows, commented, “Implicity is a rare company where clinical superiority, regulatory credibility and genuine patient impact come together at scale. By turning fragmented cardiac data into action, it improves outcomes for patients while relieving the operational pressure on hospital teams. This is precisely the kind of sustainable, mission-driven business we seek to support.”

< + > NewDays Brings Its AI-Driven Dementia Care Platform to Nevada, Expands Seed Round to $16M

NewDays, a Seattle startup using a generative AI therapy to treat people with mild dementia, has raised additional funding and closed its seed round with $16 million. The funding was led by Madrona and General Catalyst.

The company also announced on Wednesday that it has expanded its services to Nevada, joining Washington, California, Florida, Texas, and New York. NewDays offers telehealth visits with human clinicians once or twice a month alongside unlimited conversations with an AI companion named Sunny.

“Our goal isn’t to add years — it’s to add quality to the years people have,” said CEO and Co-Founder Babak Parviz.

The startup is addressing a widespread issue: one in three Americans over 65 experiences cognitive decline, with 11% living with dementia and another 22% with mild cognitive impairment. Patients use Sunny to engage in conversational topics, memory exercises, and language or reasoning games designed to strengthen cognitive function.

“While these cognitive strategies are clinically proven, they have historically lacked broad accessibility,” Parviz said. “NewDays aims to make treatment scalable using AI and demonstrate measurable improvement.”

This past July at the annual Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, the company presented research showing that NewDays patients with dementia performed better on cognitive tests than expected historical decline curves — translating to roughly 18 months of preserved cognitive function. The study was limited to 24 patients, half of whom have dementia and the other half experiencing other cognitive impairment.

“Generative AI under the guidance of an expert human clinician is what finally lets us deliver a medically proven intervention at that scale. That’s the whole thesis of the company,” Parviz said via email.

To further validate its platform, NewDays is currently running a randomized controlled trial with Kaiser Permanente in California.

Users can try Sunny for free. If they’re interested in the full program, there is a free 20-minute assessment to evaluate suitability. NewDays is covered by traditional Medicare and is working to secure in-network status with private insurers and Medicare Advantage plans. Participants in the program also have the option of paying $150 out-of-pocket for each clinical session.

< + > GenHealth.ai Raises $16.5 Million Series A to Build AI Agents that Run the Medical Back Office

Flare Capital Partners Leads the Round, Bringing Total Funding to $30 Million; GenHealth’s AI Agents Complete Intake, Eligibility, Prior Authorization, Billing, and Denials Inside the Systems Providers Already Use, with Customers Getting Paid 30%+ More

GenHealth.ai, the healthcare AI company building AI agents that run the medical back office, today announced a $16.5 million Series A led by Flare Capital Partners. Existing investors Craft Ventures and Obvious Ventures participated, along with new investors Eniac Ventures, InHealth Ventures, Epsilon Health Investors, and ARTIS. The round brings GenHealth’s total funding to $30 million.

The United States spends about $1 trillion a year on healthcare administration, and most of that work is still done by people clicking through systems that do not talk to each other. Getting care approved and paid for means hundreds of actions across EHRs, payer portals, fax lines, and phone calls. Those bottlenecks delay treatment for patients and leave providers and suppliers chasing revenue they have already earned.

GenHealth’s AI agents connect those systems and carry the work through to completion. The agents run intake, eligibility verification, prior authorization, billing, denials, and custom workflows end to end, inside the EHR, payer portals, fax, and phone systems a practice already uses. A practice brings GenHealth on the way it would hire a person: staff shows the agents how they work, the practice creates user accounts for the AI, and the agents learn those exact workflows before going live. GenHealth’s US-based billing team handles exceptions, and staff stays in the loop for decisions that need judgment.

“The problem with automating healthcare administration was never just the AI. It’s that the AI is not connected to the systems providers already use, like the EHRs, plan portals, fax, and bank accounts,” said Ricky Sahu, Co-Founder and CEO at GenHealth.ai. “At GenHealth we built those connections ourselves and created rails for workflows to run on, with context from our own model trained on 140 million patients. The result is patients getting care faster and providers getting paid over 30% more, which is unheard of in RCM.”

GenHealth was founded in 2023 by Sahu and Ethan Siegel after Sahu’s decade building interoperability APIs for the largest US health plans at 1upHealth and CareJourney. The company’s agents are built on its Large Medical Model, a foundation model trained on the coded claims and clinical histories of more than 140 million patients.

“Provider organizations do not need another system of record. They need the work done,” said Vic Lanio, Partner at Flare Capital Partners. “GenHealth is not just agentified SaaS. They have agents working alongside humans, in the providers’ current systems, completing the work. That’s why we led this round.”

Customers include medical groups, durable medical equipment suppliers, and health plans. “We transitioned to GenHealth for full-service intake and billing and couldn’t be happier,” said Jack Bachman, Owner and CEO at Piedmont Medical Solutions. “By leveraging AI to make the process faster and easier, they’ve automated more work with better results than our previous outsourced team, which was five times their size. As a true partner that does not use offshore billing workers, they catch problems sooner and offer a level of transparency we never had before.”

GenHealth will use the funding to grow its engineering and go-to-market teams, extend its agents into additional workflows for provider groups and health plans, and continue improving the model underneath them. The company has grown to more than 20 employees since its seed round and is hiring across engineering, operations, and go-to-market. Open roles are listed at genhealth.ai/jobs.

About GenHealth.ai

GenHealth.ai builds AI agents that run the medical back office. Its agents complete intake, eligibility, prior authorization, billing, and denials end to end inside the EHRs, payer portals, fax lines, and phone systems that providers already use, with US-based billers and customer staff in the loop for exceptions. GenHealth’s agents are built on its Large Medical Model, trained on the coded claims and clinical histories of more than 140 million patients. The company is headquartered in Boston and works with medical groups, DME suppliers, and health plans. Learn more at genhealth.ai.
