Healthcare technology companies are experiencing a surge in investor confidence, with multiple startups securing significant Series A funding rounds in recent days, highlighting the sector's continued momentum amid broader economic uncertainty.
MediView XR, an augmented reality surgical navigation company, closed a $24 million Series A round on October 6, led by GE HealthCare with participation from Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Edge Ventures, and JobsOhio Growth Capital Fund. The Cleveland-based medtech firm's FDA-cleared platform enables surgeons to visualize 3D anatomy through patients' skin during procedures by fusing CT scans with live ultrasound imaging.prnewswire+1
Apricot, an AI-powered clinical documentation platform, announced its Series A funding round led by Insight Partners on October 1, marking the investment firm's first Oklahoma-based investment. The platform addresses what CEO Trent Smith calls "the most expensive and painful problem in post-acute care" — the two-hour Start of Care visits that burden nurses with hundreds of required documentation fields.prnewswire+1
"Before founding Apricot, I started and ran my own home health and hospice agency for seven years," Smith explained. "I saw firsthand how painful this problem was for nurses, agencies, and patients. It undermines the very spirit of patient care".prnewswire
