Funding will Enable AI Development Across Additional Clinical Settings and Expansion with Large Clinical Partners Nationwide
Jimini Health today announced $17 million in seed funding from M13, Town Hall Ventures, LionBird, Zetta Venture Partners, and OneMind, bringing total funding to more than $25 million.

The Reality Health Systems Can No Longer Ignore
Patients at large behavioral health systems are already using AI for mental health support between appointments, without clinician visibility or control. This cultural shift is happening regardless of whether providers participate, placing new clinical, operational, and legal pressure on behavioral health organizations to respond.
More than 5.4 million U.S. adolescents and young adults now use AI chatbots for mental health advice. More than 1 million people a week have conversations with ChatGPT that include explicit indicators of suicidal planning or intent. Character.AI and Google have already settled wrongful death lawsuits brought by families of teenagers who died by suicide following unsupervised AI interactions.

Ambient Clinical Analytics Secures $5M Strategic Investment and Appoints Brian Tufts as CEO to Accelerate Growth
Ambient Clinical Analytics, a pioneer in software that combines real-time clinical analytics with clinical decision support and workflow tools, today announced the successful closing of a $5 million strategic funding round with key investments from Mairs & Power Venture Capital as well as a Fortune 500 strategic MedTech firm. The company also announced the appointment of Brian Tufts as Chief Executive Officer, signaling a new phase of growth and market expansion.
Healthcare providers today work in a complex environment in which critical patient data is not always readily available and easily interpreted in real time. In addition, care coordination amongst teams, especially in sepsis care, is challenging; often leading to variability in care.
Ambient Clinical Analytics addresses these challenges with an integrated offering that delivers real-time clinical analytics, clinical decision support, and integrated workflow automation to enable clinicians to see the full picture of a patient’s condition as it evolves.
The new capital will be used to accelerate innovation, expand adoption across health systems, and scale Ambient’s product, including its FDA Class II-cleared AWARE platform system. Built on clinically validated algorithms and Mayo Clinic–licensed technology, the company’s platform transforms complex clinical data into intuitive, actionable insights that support faster, more informed decision-making. Additionally, hospitals have leveraged the integrated workflow tools to improve sepsis protocol adherence, which has been correlated to improve both clinical outcomes and financial measures.
Brian Tufts joins Ambient Clinical Analytics with extensive leadership experience from Vantive and Baxter, where he led growth across complex healthcare environments. As CEO, Tufts will focus on expanding Ambient’s market presence, deepening strategic partnerships, and advancing the company’s mission to redefine how care teams operate in high-acuity environments.
“Hospitals do not lack data; yet doctors and nurses have few resources that deliver clarity in a dynamic clinical environment,” said Brian Tufts, Chief Executive Officer…
