South African-founded health technology company Healthleap has raised 38 million US dollars from investors to expand its artificial intelligence platform for hospitals.
The platform analyses patient records to flag people who may have conditions such as malnutrition that could otherwise go undetected.
The company says its technology has helped shorten hospital stays and increase the identification of patients needing treatment.
Healthleap has expanded from three hospitals to more than 50 in the past year, and plans to use the funding to develop its technology further.
