voize raised 50 million in Series A funding. The company is based in Berlin. It builds an AI companion for nurses. It said the new round will help expand its reach. It plans to grow across Europe. It plans to enter the US market. The round was led by Balderton Capital. HV Capital joined. Redalpine joined. Y Combinator joined.
The company said the need is clear. Nursing shortages have reached crisis levels. The WHO expects a global deficit of 4.5 million nurses by 2030. Populations are ageing. Care needs are rising. Hospitals and care homes feel the strain. Europe is short 1.2 million healthcare workers. The US faces shortages of up to 450,000 nurses each year. Teams feel pressure each day. Nurses lose time to admin tasks. They lose close to a third of their shift to documentation. This creates burnout. It pushes workers out of the field. It takes time away from patients.
A Solution Built for Frontline Nursing Workvoize said it built its system to solve this issue. It said nurses have been overlooked for years. Many AI tools help physicians. Nurses received fewer options. Their workflows differ. Their tasks move fast. They document between moments. They track details during care. They take notes in hallways. Some even write on small scraps of paper. This makes documentation slow. It also raises the risk of errors.
