Holly Health has secured £650k in a funding round comprising investment and grant backing, which includes £323k from Innovate UK via the Future Economy Investor Partnerships scheme. The capital injection will enable the company to advance its artificial intelligence coaching services, concentrating initially on hypertension and mental health challenges.
