A former A&E doctor has raised £11.2 million to bring ‘big city’ healthcare to local clinics.
Oxford-trained former NHS doctor Dr Sonia Szamocki founded 01Health in 2022 after seeing firsthand how specialist healthcare remained concentrated in hospitals and major cities, while the local clinics closest to many patients lacked the infrastructure, oversight, and operational systems needed to deliver more advanced care.
The results of this imbalance are years-long waiting lists, delayed treatment and limited access to specialist expertise.
The Series A round was led by Gresham House Ventures, with follow-on investment from existing backers Balderton Capital, Eka Ventures, and Wavemaker360, alongside angels including Nicolas Cary, co-founder of Blockchain.com.
The investment will support the launch of the 01Health platform across the UK and its introduction to the US – where trials are currently underway and a Head of US commercial operations has been appointed to lead the expansion.
For the first time, practices, practice groups and dental service organisations will be able to license the 01Health platform which, until now, has underpinned the 01Health-owned specialist dental platforms 32Co and Aerox Health.
