Heim Health raises £2.2m in seed funding from Heal Capital and others to scale at-home healthcare
The seed round was led by Heal Capital to support platform development and expand community-based care pathways.
Heim Health operates a software platform that coordinates and powers at-home healthcare delivery for providers and patients. The company connects healthcare organisations with mobile practitioners to manage clinical appointments in the community.
Heim Health has secured £2.2m in seed funding to expand its community-based healthcare software platform. The round was led by Heal Capital, with participation from Form Ventures, Portfolio Ventures, and Houghton Street Ventures.
The capital will be deployed to refine the company assignment algorithms and extend support for additional healthcare services, including expanded NHS partnerships. The funding aims to facilitate the shift of care from hospitals into the community and ease secondary care backlogs.
Founded by former Testing For All team members alongside Sasha Tory, the London-based business partners with private and public healthcare organisations to streamline end-to-end home appointments. The platform matches qualified practitioners with patients and optimises travel schedules to reduce waiting times.
From the founder
"For a long time, healthcare was rooted in the community. This brought so many benefits to both patients and practitioners, but in recent decades it’s become completely cost-ineffective to deliver it. Meanwhile, secondary care is becoming increasingly bottlenecked, with waiting lists at an all-time high and discharge delays keeping patients in hospital longer than they need. Our mission with Heim Health is to build the digital infrastructure needed to change this; revitalising community-based care and moving more healthcare from the hospital into the home through scalable modes of delivery."

Investor perspective
"At Heal Capital we’re big believers in bringing healthcare closer to home, which we think can lead to improved patient outcomes, increasing access to care, and easing the burden off traditional systems. What we’re really excited about is the real platform potential of Heim, which can easily leverage existing supply and match it with patient demand in a customer-centric fashion. The Heim team is doing the hard work of putting in the infrastructure for community care and we’re proud to back them on this journey."
