London-based Heim Health raises €2.65 million to boost at-home healthcare | EU-Startups

Heim Health, a software platform dedicated to at-home healthcare delivery, has raised €2.65 million in a seed round led by Heal Capital, with participation from Form Ventures, Portfolio Ventures, and Houghton Street Ventures to revive community-based healthcare through a tech-led, scalable model of delivery.

Originally known as Ally Health, Heim Health was founded by Kelly Klifa, James Monico, and Sasha Tory, drawing on their experience from the not-for-profit Testing For All initiative during the pandemic. The new funding will allow Heim Health to enhance its technology and expand its services, including further collaboration with the NHS.

Kelly Klifa, Co-Founder and CEO, said: “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.“

Heim Health aims to alleviate pressure on hospitals by enabling more community-based care, tapping into the UK’s healthcare capacity. Heim Health partners with healthcare organisations – both in the private sector and the NHS –  to manage the end-to-end delivery of their at-home appointments. The platform sources qualified healthcare practitioners to perform services such as blood tests and post-operative assessments at home, optimising logistics with algorithms inspired by ‘last mile’ delivery solutions.

Marta Mrozowicz, Investment Manager at Heal Capital, comments: “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.”
