What You Missed in Healthcare IT: June Edition
In June 2025 we tracked 76 healthcare IT announcements across new product releases, system implementations, partnerships, and funding rounds. Biggest takeaway? Health tech funding is heating back up, especially for infrastructure-layer AI like scribes and RCM automation. We also saw continued expansion of AI applications in clinical settings, a growing interest in outsourced specialty care, and new momentum behind operational AI for scheduling and patient communication.
1. Startup Funding Roars Back for Clinician Assistants and RCM Tools
Despite continued pressure on startup fundraising across most sectors, health tech AI is showing strong signs of resilience. Investors poured hundreds of millions into clinical and revenue cycle infrastructure companies in June, underscoring that in a challenging market, solutions tied directly to health system productivity and margins are still getting funded.
This month’s biggest raises included Abridge ($300M Series E), Commure ($200M in growth financing), and Tennr ($101M Series C), all signaling investor conviction in ambient documentation and agentic RCM. Notably, announcements for all three doubled-down on RCM use-cases that would be funded by the injection of cash. For example, Abridge stated it would use the capital to, “embed revenue cycle intelligence earlier in the clinical conversation,” and, “eliminate the need for manual, delayed coordination between clinicians and billing teams.”
There was also a cluster of smaller but still substantial investments across these categories:
Nabla raised $70M to improve coding support, introduce greater agentic capabilities, and expand across additional care settings.
Autonomize AI, an AI orchestration tool for care management, utilization management, and benefits checks workflows, closed a $28M Series A.
Superdial, which completes workflows like prior authorization and eligibility checks, announced a $15M Series A.
Arine secured $30M for its medication optimization solution.
Intermountain Health made a strategic investment in and signed a multi-year deployment agreement with Layer Health, a clinical summaries and registry automation platform.
VoiceCare AI, an AI payer-facing calling startup, raised a seed round of $4.54M.
Revenue intelligence startup ArcheHealth closed a $6.7M seed round.
2. AI Is Redefining Where and How Care Gets Delivered
AI-powered tools are increasingly reshaping the boundaries between inpatient, transitional, and at-home care, enabling earlier intervention, extending virtual oversight, and improving coordination beyond hospital walls.
Examples include: Arkansas Children’s Hospital, which launched NICU remote monitoring with Caregility, and Valley Health, which began offering hospital-at-home services with Inbound Health. Sutter Health tapped Aidoc to detect inpatient deterioration earlier, and Mount Sinai Hospital implemented Flosonics Medical’s wearable Doppler ultrasound patch to support real-time monitoring of patient volume status.
Post-discharge use cases are also evolving. Emory Healthcare partnered with Aidin to support referral management and follow-up coordination. Meanwhile, Universal Health Services began deploying Hippocratic AI’s voice-based agents to proactively monitor patient condition and field questions after discharge—a novel application of voice AI in transitional care. The Connected Health Collaborative, co-hosted by the Digital Medicine Society and the Consumer Technology Association with UMass Chan Medical School's Program in Digital Medicine as the founding Impact Sponsor, released new resources aimed at accelerating hospital-at-home expansion, with a focus on integrating AI into patient monitoring and care coordination.
3. Health Systems Leverage Tech to Expand Access to Specialty Care
More health systems are turning to virtual and outsourced specialty care to expand access, reduce wait times, and offload burdened clinical teams. St. Charles Health System partnered with WovenX Health to bolster gastroenterology coordination, while Stanford Medicine adopted Kivo Health’s virtual pulmonary rehab platform to support patients with COPD. Children’s Wisconsin selected Ksana Health to enhance pediatric behavioral health care in primary care settings, and Cleveland Clinic’s second opinion service, The Clinic, expanded its Cancer Concierge offering in partnership with Amwell to provide virtual oncology expertise. Investors are also backing the trend; Salvo Health, a virtual GI care delivery provider, raised a $4 million expanded seed prime round.
4. Voice Agents Continue Steady Expansion
As we noted last month, AI voice agents are moving from concept to implementation across patient engagement, RCM, and operational workflows. That trend continued in June. In addition to the RCM agent funding mentioned above, new deployments and feature launches point to steady but targeted growth in this category. This month’s updates include:
Infinitus expanded its partnership with Salesforce Agentforce.
Commure launched Commure Agents, which includes voice-based tools for scheduling, patient updates, and prior auth.
Hippocratic AI's voice agents were deployed at two Universal Health Services hospitals to follow up with patients post-discharge (as mentioned above).
Medsender released updates to its MAIRA voice agent for scheduling and referral management.
Collectly introduced Billie, a voice agent focused on inbound billing questions and follow-ups.
While the field is crowded, vendors appear to be finding traction with narrowly scoped, workflow-specific use cases, particularly where phone-based interaction remains standard and automation can directly impact the bottom line.
