Hamburg’s elea, an AI platform designed to enhance the delivery of critical diagnoses and care by healthcare professionals, has announced a successful €4 million Seed funding round. This investment will enable the company to grow and branch out into new areas, starting with pathology. The funding round included contributions from Fly Ventures and Giant Ventures, as well as a significant partnership with one of Germany’s largest medical care center groups (MVZ).
Dr Sebastian Casu, Co-founder and CMO of elea said: “No-one joins the healthcare sector to spend hours on admin; we’re driven by our desire to help people. Yet today’s systems, even the add-on solutions that promise to help, fall short. Clinicians’ hands remain tied and our patients miss out. With Elea, we’re proving technology can be an ally, not an obstacle, and can finally bring the power of this technology to achieve better patient outcomes and, ultimately, save lives.”
Founded in 2024 by AI specialist Dr. Christoph Schröder (CEO), along with medical expert Dr. Sebastian Casu (CMO), Tobias Lygren, and Stephan Frank, elea is an AI-driven operating system designed to address the administrative, demand, and care challenges within healthcare systems by integrating automation and voice-activated AI into specialized clinical workflows.
By connecting with the various systems that healthcare professionals use daily and being optimized for mobile devices, elea employs voice recognition and conversational AI to meet clinicians’ needs. It seamlessly transitions between systems, responds to commands, and anticipates tasks—ranging from drafting diagnoses to generating reports—efficiently and accurately.
Currently, healthcare professionals allocate 40% of their time to administrative duties, compared to just 30% for patient care. Elea aims to rebalance this distribution.
In just one year, elea’s AI-first operating system is already making significant strides in transforming pathology labs throughout Germany, thanks to a collaboration with one of the nation’s largest MVZ hospital groups.
Previously, testing and diagnosis could take 2-3 weeks; however, elea has reportedly reduced this timeframe to mere hours. Clinicians can now validate reports and deliver them to patients with a single click, allowing for timely life-saving interventions and treatments
