Nursing Care Company Voize Raises $50M In Series A Funding

The global nursing shortage has reached a crisis. The WHO predicts a deficit of 4.5 million nurses by 2030. Europe alone lacks 1.2 million healthcare workers, and the US could face up to 450,000 fewer nurses annually. Nurses spend 30% of their time on administrative tasks, costing $246 billion across the US and Europe, leading to burnout, high turnover, and less time for patient care.

While AI tools exist for physicians, nurses have been largely overlooked. Their workflows are different, often leaving them jotting notes on scraps of paper during shifts. voize is addressing this gap.

Founded in 2020 by twin brothers Fabio (CEO) and Marcel Schmidberger (COO) with Erik Ziegler (CTO), voize was inspired by the brothers’ experience with their grandfather in a nursing home. Witnessing how much time nurses spent on admin work sparked their mission to return time to frontline care.

Developed with nurses over tens of thousands of hours in care homes, voize’s AI companion listens as nurses speak during care, understands their notes, and handles documentation and scheduling in real time. Fully integrated with Electronic Health Records, voize fits naturally into nursing workflows, letting nurses focus on patients instead of paperwork.

voize’s AI models are purpose-built for nursing and developed entirely in-house. They accurately capture medical language, understand regional dialects, and support non-native speakers, helping nurses document confidently.

Unlike most AI systems, voize runs locally on smartphones without needing a constant internet connection. This ensures strong data protection and reliable care, even when Wi-Fi is unavailable a first in healthcare AI.

Today, 1,100 care facilities in Germany and Austria, and over 75,000 nurses, save up to 30% of their time each shift using voize. Its impact is so significant that care homes now feature voize in job ads, making it a reason nurses choose where to work.

Fabio Schmidberger, co-founder and CEO of voize, said: “Nurses enter the profession to care for people, and leave it because of all the admin work. For too long, they’ve had little technology designed to truly support them.

At voize, we’re building AI that redefines what it means to care, where technology works in the background, and people come first.

Seeing this come to life already across care homes and hospitals and hearing how nurses rediscover the joy in their jobs has been incredible."

Daniel Waterhouse, General Partner at Balderton, said: “Nurses are the backbone of every healthcare system — yet too often, they’re overwhelmed by administrative tasks that pull them away from patients. voize recognised this disconnect and built a solution born from listening and understanding.

Their AI companion doesn’t replace human care; it restores it, removing friction from documentation and empowering nurses to spend more time where they’re needed most.”

The funding will help voize expand across Europe, enter the US market, and advance its mission to reduce administrative burdens in healthcare, allowing nurses to spend more time on what matters most: patient care.
