C8Health Secures $12M to Tackle Medical Data Fragmentation
C8Health Secures $12M to Revolutionize Clinical Knowledge Access
In an era where healthcare professionals juggle 10-15 different systems to find patient data, New York-based C8Health has emerged with an AI-powered solution. The startup recently closed a $12 million Series A round, bringing total funding to $18 million, led by Team8 with participation from 10D and Vertex Ventures.
Breaking Down Healthcare Information Silos
Founded in 2022, C8Health tackles what Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ido Zamberg calls "the tyranny of fragmented systems." Their platform aggregates clinical guidelines from disparate hospital applications (SharePoint, SmartVault, Docuware) into a unified interface accessible via mobile, desktop, or directly within Electronic Medical Records (EMR).
"Our AI doesn't just wait for queries," explains CEO Galia Rosen Schwarz. "It proactively surfaces relevant protocols based on:"
- Scheduled procedures
- Individual performance metrics
- Institutional context patterns
The system's behavioral algorithms push content based on user roles and peer activity patterns, achieving what Schwarz describes as "right knowledge, right time, right clinician" delivery.
Proven Impact in Major Health Systems
With deployments in 100+ US hospitals including:
- Dartmouth Health Center
- Mount Sinai Hospital
The platform demonstrates remarkable adoption:
- 90% clinician uptake within 3-6 months
- 3.49 daily views/user at MetroHealth's anesthesia department
- 90% mobile usage reflects workflow integration
A key innovation combines performance analytics with knowledge access. Clinicians see:
- Case-specific best practices
- Personal quality metrics
- Actionable improvement suggestions
This creates a closed-loop system replacing retrospective reports with real-time clinical decision support.
Technical Differentiation in Healthcare AI
While leveraging general large language models (LLMs), C8Health built proprietary systems for:
- Medical data extraction
- Clinical content structuring
- Context-aware formatting
The $12M infusion will fuel:
- Deeper health system integrations
- Expansion into outpatient/ER settings
- Enhanced predictive capabilities
Key Points:
✅ $12M Series A led by Team8 (Total $18M raised) ✅ Solves information fragmentation across 10+ hospital systems ✅ Achieves 90% clinician adoption in <6 months ✅ Combines knowledge access with performance analytics ✅ Currently deployed in 100+ US hospitals
