Health Force Raises €4.2M Seed Led by LUMO Labs to Scale Hospital Operations AI Agents
Health Force Closes €4.2M Seed Round
Health Force, a developer of enterprise-grade AI agents for hospital operations, has raised €4.2 million in seed funding. The round was led by LUMO Labs and included participation from Target Global, Next Tier Ventures, Calm/Storm Ventures, and Step Venture.
What Health Force Does
Health Force builds AI agents designed to run hospital operations end to end. According to the company, its pre-trained agents log into the systems a hospital already uses with their own credentials and complete workflows under human supervision, with every action logged and traceable.
The company's stated scope covers:
- Prior-authorisation checks
- Claims processing
- Regulatory and quality reporting
Rather than requiring hospitals to replace existing infrastructure, Health Force positions its agents as an overlay that operates within current systems under supervision and audit trails.
Traction and Scale
Health Force reports processing more than 200,000 patient cases a year. Its customer base includes leading European hospital groups, with Humanitas and Gruppo San Donato named as users.
Company Background
Health Force was founded in Vienna in 2022 by Fadi Haddad and Dr Juan Suarez. The company is now headquartered in Barcelona, with an operations hub in Milan.
The Round at a Glance
- Round type: Seed
- Amount: €4.2 million
- Lead investor: LUMO Labs
- Participating investors: Target Global, Next Tier Ventures, Calm/Storm Ventures, Step Venture
- Announced: September 17, 2026
Why It Matters for the Sector
Hospital administrative workflows — prior authorisation, claims, and regulatory reporting — remain among the most labour-intensive and error-prone functions in healthcare delivery. Vendors that can automate these processes without forcing system replacements address a persistent operational bottleneck for hospital groups.
Health Force's approach of operating inside existing systems with logged, traceable actions is aimed squarely at the compliance and audit requirements that govern hospital IT environments. The company's reported case volume and named hospital group customers provide a reference point for how far its agents have been deployed in production settings.
What the Funding Signals
The seed round, led by LUMO Labs with a syndicate of European and international funds, gives Health Force capital to expand its operations across its Barcelona headquarters and Milan hub. For a company founded in 2022, the round represents an early-stage bet on agentic AI applied to regulated healthcare operations rather than to clinical decision-making.
Investors in the round span venture funds active across European technology, suggesting continued appetite for vertical AI applications with enterprise deployment requirements and compliance-heavy workflows.
Outlook
With more than 200,000 patient cases processed annually and deployments at named European hospital groups, Health Force enters its next phase with a seed round led by LUMO Labs. The company's focus remains on running hospital operations workflows end to end through supervised, auditable AI agents.
