Bengaluru-based clinical AI startup O-Health has raised fresh funding to speed up development of its edge-enabled AI models and clinical hardware, with Apollo Hospitals Joint Managing Director Dr Sangita Reddy among the backers. The round, reported on 2 November 2026, did not disclose the amount raised.

The company said the capital will help it fulfil its existing order book and expand deployments across both private and public healthcare, as more Indian hospitals look for AI tools that work inside the consultation room rather than on distant cloud servers.

Who invested in O-Health

According to Moneycontrol, the investors include:

• Dr Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals
• BugleRock Capital, Singapore
• Perpetual Capital, led by Pranav Prashant and Anvita Prashant
• Ankit Nagori of Curefoods
• Varun Dua of ACKO

What O-Health builds

O-Health develops a voice-first clinical AI platform that turns doctor-patient conversations into structured clinical notes and assessment reports in real time. It runs on its own medical speech recognition system and a set of small language models, instead of relying on large foreign models or paid external APIs.

The models run on edge hardware installed inside hospitals and clinics. This keeps patient data on site, cuts response delays and lets the system keep working when internet connectivity drops, a common problem in district hospitals and rural clinics. The new funding will go into developing these on-device models and the clinical hardware that carries them, along with research to strengthen patient assessment and consultation readiness built in India.

Deployments so far

Founded by Arunoday Singh and Akshar KR, O-Health has said it has completed more than 50,000 clinical consultations on its platform and deployed it in private hospitals including Yashoda Medicity in Delhi NCR. It is also running pilots with state health authorities, has a research collaboration with MIT CSAIL and has received a grant from the Gates Foundation. More details are on the O-Health website.

Why it matters for Indian healthcare

India’s hospitals are adding AI to clinical workflows quickly, from voice tools in maternal care such as Dewas district’s HelloMaaAI voice-call service to AI-led diagnostics like the AI-driven lung nodule clinic at Yashoda Hospital. Edge AI addresses two concerns that often slow adoption in public facilities: patchy connectivity and keeping sensitive health data within the hospital.

The round also adds to a steady run of healthtech funding in recent weeks, including Clinics On Cloud’s ₹120 crore Series A for AI-enabled microclinics and Docterz’s ₹5 crore raise to build AI tools for clinics.

Key takeaways

• O-Health has raised an undisclosed amount for edge-enabled AI models and clinical hardware.
• Backers include Apollo Hospitals’ Dr Sangita Reddy, BugleRock Capital, Perpetual Capital, Ankit Nagori and Varun Dua.
• Funds will support its order book and expansion across private and public healthcare.
• Its voice-first platform runs on in-house speech recognition and small language models inside hospitals.
