AI platform Ambience Healthcare receives $243 million in Series C funding US-based AI company, Ambience Healthcare has secured $243 million in Series C funding to continue expanding its AI platform across health systems, to help make “care teams more effective everywhere” and “accelerate the delivery of products”. The platform was developed to support documentation and coding as a way to improve clinical workflow throughout healthcare, integrating with different EHR systems and adapting to the “unique context of each care setting and specialty without requiring workflow redesign or staff retraining”. The new round of funding was co-led by Oak HC/FT and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), with existing investors OpenAI Startup Fund, Kleiner Perkins, and Optum Ventures. 13 healthcare facilities in North Carolina go live with Epic EHR system The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) has introduced an EHR system powered by Epic to 13 different state-operated healthcare facilities across North Carolina, with the aim to offer “improved and more comprehensive care”. The NCDHHS is also hoping that the implementation of this system will help to streamline processes for staff, enhance security for the protection of patient data and improve regulatory compliance. According to NCDHHS, the system went live on 1 August 2025 and is providing “easy access to test results, medications, and medical history” for both clinicians and patients. Other notable benefits include a reduction in delays and repeated tests, as well as improved safety and more coordinated care, with some healthcare facilities also allowing patients to access their health information through the MyChart online portal. “At Cherry Hospital, our mission is to provide excellent psychiatric care to individuals with the greatest need and the fewest resources. By implementing electronic health records, our staff can spend less time on paperwork and more time focusing on what matters most—caring for our patients,” Timothy Miller, CEO, Cherry Hospital, said.

CEO and co-founder of Cyted Health, Marcel Gehrung, commented: “This Series B financing marks a defining moment for Cyted as we continue to deepen our commitment to detecting esophageal diseases earlier.
