DEPTH Health, a developer of personalized, clinically guided, and AI-driven patient flow optimization solutions, raised $1 million in a Seed funding round from Green Harvest Capital Industries (GHC Industries), a minority-owned private equity firm with over $500 million in assets under ownership.
The investment marks a significant milestone for DEPTH Health as it scales its Augmented Surveillance Intelligence (ASI) platform to address the critical challenges of Emergency Department (ED) boarding, capacity friction, and Access to Care—the ability of a system to convert demand into timely, revenue-generating care without delay or waste.
According to data provided by DEPTH Health, its platform is already deployed by over 800 hospitals worldwide to date.
“Hospital gridlock is not a space problem—it is a patient flow problem. At DEPTH Health, we are pioneering a new category of Augmented Surveillance Intelligence (ASI) to transform care operations across the entire continuum,” said Alan Portela, CEO & Co-Founder, DEPTH Health.
“By integrating AI for early risk assessment and smarter patient placement, we are unlocking hidden capacity and connecting care teams in real time. This funding is the catalyst that enables us to accelerate current deployments with our founding health system partners,” added Alan Portela.
