01Health Raises $15M to Bring Specialist Care to Local Clinics

Jan de Vries · 2026-06-10

London-based HealthTech startup 01Health has raised $15 million (€12.9 million) in Series A funding to scale its healthcare delivery platform. The platform lets local clinics offer specialist services that are usually only available in big hospitals or major medical centers. It's a big shift in how we think about getting care. ### Who's Behind the Round The round was led by Gresham House Ventures, with follow-on participation from existing backers Balderton Capital, Eka Ventures and Wavemaker360. Angel investors also participated, including Blockchain.com Co-founder Nicolas Cary. That's a pretty impressive group of backers. ### What the Funding Will Do The new funding will support further growth across the UK and expansion into the United States, where platform trials are already underway. The company has also appointed a Head of US Commercial Operations as it prepares to increase its presence in the market. So they're clearly thinking big. ### The Bigger Picture: 2026 HealthTech Funding In 2026, EU-Startups has reported several HealthTech and adjacent healthcare infrastructure rounds that frame 01Health's $15 million Series A. UK comparables include: - Semble, a London-based healthcare management platform for outpatient providers, which raised $40.5 million (€34.7 million) Series C funding to coordinate care and manage the patient journey - Evaro, a Norwich-based NHS-licensed digital healthcare platform, which secured $24.5 million (€21 million) Series A funding to expand embedded health services, clinical capabilities and API-first infrastructure - JAAQ, a London-based clinically governed digital health and engagement platform, which raised $17.5 million (€15 million) Series A funding to grow enterprise partnerships, deepen clinical infrastructure and expand into the US - Calibre, a London-based proactive health company, which raised $3.3 million (€2.8 million) pre-Seed funding to develop its Causal Health Navigation approach Beyond the UK, adjacent 2026 EU-Startups reports include: - DentalMonitoring, a Paris-based AI-powered remote orthodontic monitoring company, which raised $98 million (€84 million) to support international expansion and product innovation - Tucuvi, a Madrid-based voice-AI care management platform, which raised $19.8 million (€17 million) Series A funding to accelerate adoption in healthcare systems - Lucis, a Paris-based preventive health platform, which raised $19.9 million (€17.1 million) Series A funding for AI-supported blood biomarker analysis and personalised health recommendations - Ditto, a Rotterdam-based patient-facing HealthTech app, which raised $8.9 million (€7.6 million) for its European rollout - Delphyr, an Amsterdam-based AI platform for medical professionals, which raised $2 million (€1.75 million) to reduce healthcare administrative workloads Taken together, 2026 comparables account for approximately $234 million in disclosed funding, or about $250 million when 01Health's $15 million Series A is included. That's a lot of money flowing into this space. ### Where 01Health Fits In 01Health's round sits within a broader funding context focused on outpatient infrastructure, distributed care, clinical workflow automation, digital health engagement, preventive health and dental/orthodontic technology. The closest sector comparator is DentalMonitoring because of its orthodontics focus, while Semble, Evaro and JAAQ provide particularly relevant UK-based comparisons in healthcare delivery infrastructure, embedded care and clinically governed digital services. > "Specialist care is often concentrated in hospitals and major cities, while many community clinics lack the infrastructure, oversight and workflows needed to offer more advanced treatments safely." - Dr Sonia Szamocki, Founder of 01Health ### The Story Behind 01Health Founded in 2022 by former NHS doctor and BCG consultant Dr Sonia Szamocki, 01Health was created to address a long-running challenge in healthcare: specialist care is often concentrated in hospitals and major cities, while many community clinics lack the infrastructure, oversight and workflows needed to offer more advanced treatments safely. The startup's goal is to help move specialist healthcare closer to patients by giving local clinics the tools and clinical support required to deliver more complex services. ### How the Platform Works The 01Health platform brings together clinical oversight, specialist protocols, workflow management, patient communication tools, and operational infrastructure. It's basically a complete toolkit for clinics that want to offer more than just basic care. EU-Startups has also previously covered 01Health's specialist dental brand 32Co, noting its earlier $2.9 million (€2.5 million) raise to scale specialist healthcare beyond the clinic. ### What This Means for US Healthcare For US readers, this story matters because 01Health is already testing its platform stateside. If successful, it could help solve a similar problem here: getting specialist care out of expensive hospital systems and into your neighborhood clinic. That could mean lower costs and better access for patients across the country.
