Heim funding news - London-based Heim has Secured £2.2Million in Seed Funding

Heim, a software platform for home healthcare, has raised £2.2 million in seed funding to help reduce pressure on hospitals. The funding round was led by Heal Capital, with support from Form Ventures, Portfolio Ventures, and Houghton Street Ventures.

SUMMARY

  • Heim, a software platform for home healthcare, has raised £2.2 million in seed funding to help reduce pressure on hospitals.
  • Heim Health was founded by Kelly Klifa, James Monico, and Sasha Tory, drawing on their experience from the Testing For All initiative.

Currently, 13% of NHS beds are occupied by patients who could be treated at home. Heim Health aims to help more patients receive care in their communities. The platform sources nurses and supports them with technology to make home healthcare more efficient, cost-effective, and reduce strain on hospital staff.

Heim Health Platform

Heim Health, previously known as Ally Health, was founded by the team behind Testing For All, a non-profit Covid testing service that delivered over 1 million at-home tests during the pandemic.

It works with both private healthcare organizations and the NHS to manage at-home appointments from start to finish.

The company finds skilled nurses and healthcare professionals to provide care, such as blood tests, post-surgery checks, and injections, in patients’ homes. Their platform uses technology to make this care more efficient and scalable.

Funding Utilisation

The £2.2 million funding will help it improve its systems and expand the range of healthcare services it offers, including its work with the NHS.

Kelly Klifa, Co-Founder and CEO at Heim Health, commented: “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.“

Sasha Tory, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer added: “Our goal is to make scheduling an appointment as simple for patients as booking a table or arranging a parcel delivery. We achieve this by enabling healthcare providers to deliver in-home care efficiently, eliminating the burden of unnecessary handwritten paperwork and logistics management. By relieving practitioners of these pressures, we tap into under-utilised workforce capacity and prevent future strain on the healthcare system.”
