The funding round was led by Archangels to support international expansion and product development.
"In a post-pandemic world, web-based clinical triage is becoming an increasingly an important part of how healthcare is delivered in the UK and globally, providing a vital service and reducing the burden on healthcare teams. I have no doubt that the clinical depth of the PhysioWizard product, which has been developed over many years, will ensure that it becomes the leading digital triage solution not only in the UK but globally."
The financing round includes backing from Kima Ventures alongside a UKRI award to adapt the digital health coach for older adults.
"Age UK Lewisham and Southwark exists to improve the lives of older people, working towards a future in which all people are valued, safe, and empowered to make choices about their lives."
Sofina led the round with participation from OMERS Ventures and Index Ventures to accelerate growth in the UK and Europe.
"With millions of clinical data points collected each month, we plan on deriving personalised and predictive insights to enable a value-based healthcare delivery model. This latest investment, just over one year from the last round, is not only a validation of Birdie’s growth trajectory, but also an endorsement for the potential of our social impact."
Royal Mail Group has backed the NHS-integrated pharmacy platform in a pre-seed round to help local healthcare providers expand their digital services.
"The pandemic has outlined the necessity of community healthcare and the power of digital delivery. In the UK today, it is estimated that just 3% of all prescriptions are ordered digitally, with most UK pharmacies still lacking the ability to digitise their services. This places undue pressure on the wider NHS and prevents an estimated 18 million GP consultations being transferred to community pharmacists, who are equipped to manage many health conditions that would typically be associated with GP care. Today’s investment will help local pharmacies across the UK adapt, survive and thrive by arming them with the necessary technology to exist in our houses as well as on our high street."
Parkwalk led the Series B financing, with participation from Meltwind, Newable Ventures and BGF, to widen access to the Censeo platform.
"The continued support from Parkwalk, Meltwind and BGF alongside new investment from Newable Ventures enables us to expand the reach of Censeo, helping more people who are struggling to find the right support for their mental health needs. We’re excited to grow our team, expand further across the NHS and demonstrate with our partners that our technology can make a substantial difference in the accuracy, consistency and efficiency of mental health assessments in a wide range of clinical settings."
