Serve Robotics to Acquire Diligent Robotics, Expanding Physical AI Platform Beyond the Sidewalk
- Acquisition Broadens Serve’s Autonomous Robotics Platform, Expanding Market Opportunity Beyond Last-Mile Delivery, and Delivering Non-Organic Revenue
- Diligent’s Moxi Robot Among the Largest Autonomous Robot Deployments in Hospitals Nationwide: Over 1.25 Million Deliveries Completed by Nearly 100 Robots in Over 25 Hospital Facilities, with Annual Sales at Each Hospital Expected to Range Between $200k to $400k
- Leverages a Common Autonomy and AI Stack, Accelerating Learning, Deployment, and Scalability
Serve Robotics Inc., a leading autonomous robotics company, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Diligent Robotics, Inc., a pioneering provider of AI-powered robot assistants for the healthcare industry. The transaction marks the first expansion of Serve’s autonomy platform into indoor environments, with hospitals as one of the most high-impact settings for robotics.
Diligent was founded in 2017 by Andrea Thomaz and Vivian Chu, world-renowned social roboticists, with the vision of creating socially intelligent robot assistants that improve human labor productivity. Since its inception, Diligent has raised over $100 million in financing from investors including Tiger Global, Canaan, and True Ventures.
Diligent has developed Moxi, an autonomous hospital delivery robot that supports nurses and hospital staff, allowing them to focus on time with patients and therefore improve the quality of care. Moxi is deployed in over 25 hospital facilities across the U.S., representing one of the largest commercial deployments of mobile manipulation robots working alongside people. Moxi robots have successfully completed over 1.25 million autonomous deliveries. Moxi is powered by NVIDIA’s embedded hardware and software ecosystem (Jetson & Omniverse) and uses advanced sensing and AI to navigate among people in complex hospital spaces. Moxi incorporates insight from years of real-world data in commercial deployments. Customers include leading hospitals and healthcare systems such as Northwestern Medicine, ChristianaCare, and Rochester General Hospital.
The acquisition extends Serve’s commercial operations and autonomy platform into indoor and healthcare applications that demand reliability, safety, and an unobtrusive presence. The combined effort brings together two mission-driven teams with a shared vision for creating and deploying human-centric, autonomous robots in real-world settings. Both Serve and Diligent have successfully designed and commercialized Physical AI systems that operate safely alongside people, perform with high reliability in complex, dynamic environments, and integrate seamlessly into everyday situations.
Indoor environments, such as hospitals, add a powerful new dimension to Serve’s Physical AI flywheel. Dense, human-centric, multi-level spaces with constant edge cases are the conditions that sharpen autonomy fastest…

Harmony Healthcare IT Expands MEDITECH EHR Data Solutions Through Acquisition of Blue Elm
MEDITECH Hospitals will Benefit from a Single Partner for Complete Data Lifecycle Management
Harmony Healthcare IT, the leading health data management and archiving solutions company for hospitals and health systems, today announced the acquisition of Blue Elm, the premier MEDITECH data solutions provider. The acquisition solidifies Harmony Healthcare IT as the industry’s most comprehensive MEDITECH data partner, combining the company’s deep expertise in healthcare data migration and archiving with Blue Elm’s MEDITECH data optimization, access, and extraction capabilities.
This acquisition addresses critical industry trends MEDITECH hospitals are navigating, including:
- Rising demand for MEDITECH data extraction, conversion, and migration services as hospitals undergo system upgrades and transitions
- Growing focus on legacy data archiving as hospitals seek to decommission costly, vulnerable systems
- Increasing need for enhanced data access and optimization as hospitals face ongoing pressure to improve quality and reduce costs
“MEDITECH hospitals and health systems now have access to unparalleled expertise across the complete data lifecycle,” said Brian Liddell, President and CFO at Harmony Healthcare IT. “From maintaining data integrity and enhancing real-time access to executing complex migration and archiving projects, no other provider can match our combined company’s breadth of MEDITECH expertise.”
Blue Elm, which has served more than 500 hospitals and vendors since its founding in 2001, brings deep MEDITECH-specific capabilities across all versions (Magic, Client/Server, 6.x, and Expanse).
“Joining Harmony Healthcare IT allows us to streamline and accelerate the complex data projects MEDITECH hospitals are undertaking — potentially cutting months from overall project timelines,” said John Mackey, Founder and President at Blue Elm…
