Venture capital is making a comeback in healthcare, and this time, artificial intelligence (AI) is at the center of the movement.
According to Crunchbase, funding for AI-powered health-tech startups surged to an estimated $10.7 billion in 2025, a 24% increase over the previous year. That represents roughly one-third of all digital-health investments this year, signaling not just a rebound from prior market corrections but a renewed focus on technologies that deliver measurable clinical and operational value.
AI is now tackling healthcare’s most persistent challenges, like slow diagnoses, administrative delays, and rising drug development costs. Rather than funding pilots, hospitals and insurers are evaluating solutions more rigorously, targeting investments that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance patient outcomes.
