Qualified Health, a company that provides a secure enterprise artificial intelligence platform for health systems, announced Wednesday it raised $125 million in an early-stage funding round.

Founded in 2023, the firm offers enterprise-focused health systems with AI integrations aimed at safely bringing the technology into their organizations at scale, safely and securely. The objective of the firm is to provide complete integrations that work out of the box without requiring health systems to attempt costly pilots that might fail, requiring them to retrain staff and back out.

New Enterprise Associates led the startup’s Series B funding round. Also joining the round were new investors Transformation Capital, GreatPoint Ventures, Cathay Innovation and Menlo Ventures’ Anthology Fund, along with several existing investors.

“We have been trusted with large, transformational mandates, and we’ve built a team and platform designed to deliver on that responsibility,” said co-founder and Chief Executive Justin Norden. He added that the next milestone will be about deepening the company’s partnerships, scaling responsibility and proving that AI can provide a foundation for lowering costs and better outcomes for patients.

“The health systems we serve are not just looking for incremental improvement,” he said. “They’re looking to fundamentally transform how care is delivered, and we’re honored to be their partner in that work.”

The Qualified Health platform currently supports more than 500,000 users across health systems representing about 7% of hospital revenue in the United States.

Healthcare firms and systems the company has partnered with include Mercy, Emory Healthcare, University of Rochester Medicine, Jefferson Health, and all eight health institutions of the University of Texas System.

“Qualified Health has been an exceptional partner as we build and execute our AI strategy at UTMB,” said Peter McCaffrey, M.D., chief AI and digital officer at the University of Texas Medical Branch. “Their team brings deep expertise and a real willingness to dive deep alongside our clinicians, operators and leadership teams.”

According to a report from Grand View Research, the global AI market in healthcare was estimated at around $37 billion in 2025 and expected to reach $506 billion by 2033. The U.S. accounted for almost 54% of the global market and is also expected to grow significantly. Software solutions currently lead, as almost 79% of healthcare organizations are presently using AI technology.

Although the pandemic spearheaded AI adoption, today’s stage is being led by current and developing global healthcare worker deficits, which may rise to 10 million by 2033.

The company said that right now, AI isn’t simply a technological problem; it’s also an organizational and cultural transformation. Health systems are changing from the inside out as this technology moves in and helps them unify fragmented data sources, changes how they adjust manual systems, and embeds AI into live operations and patient-facing activities. These are very human activities that require a personal touch.

At the same time, Qualified Health stressed that safety and governance are embedded directly into the platform. Every doctor, nurse, technician and administrator maintains oversight over the system. This includes full traceability of decisions, clear source attributions and continuous monitoring after deployment.
