A London-based startup founded by a former Palantir healthcare executive who worked in NHS hospitals during Covid has raised £9.7m in a funding round.
The funding round in Frontier Health was led by Atomico, the European VC firm, with participation from XYZ Venture Capital and Firstminute Capital.
Frontier Health, which has raised £11.9m in total, is leveraging AI to carry out administrative tasks which are burdening patient care in the NHS.
The startup, founded in 2024, points to projected figures showing healthcare systems facing a 10m worker shortfall by 2030, saying that fixing the administrative burden behind patient care can reduce this worker shortfall. It was founded by Rachel Finegold, who worked as Palantir healthcare lead at 40 NHS hospitals during the Covid-19 pandemic.
She said she spent years working alongside NHS teams and saw first-hand how administrative bottlenecks impact patient outcomes.
