Oska Health secures €11M to expand AI-driven care

Oska Health, a hybrid care provider combining personal health coaches with AI, has raised €11 million in seed funding to scale its continuous care model for high-risk, chronically ill patients. The round was led by Capricorn Partners and SwissHealth Ventures, with participation from Revent, Calm Storm, LBBW Venture Capital, BMH, GoHub Ventures, and Aurum Impact.

Chronic diseases present significant challenges for healthcare systems worldwide. Although medical care is generally well organised, gaps often remain between doctor visits, when many patients struggle to sustain behaviour changes that support better health outcomes. Around 50 per cent of chronically ill patients do not take medications as prescribed, and about 80 per cent do not maintain long-term lifestyle changes.

Oska Health aims to address these gaps by providing personalised digital support between medical appointments. The company focuses on multimorbid patients – individuals living with multiple chronic conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, and hypertension – affecting millions across Europe. Its model combines human coaching with AI-enabled care delivery to support patients at scale.

Certified health coaches provide continuous support via video calls, chat, and a dedicated digital therapy app, helping patients with questions related to nutrition, physical activity, and medication. The goal is to translate physicians’ recommendations into everyday practice, strengthen health literacy, and reduce complications and avoidable hospitalisations.

CEO and co-founder Niklas Best emphasised that effective chronic care is driven by everyday habits rather than occasional medical consultations:

We combine human support with AI to close this gap. Our technology supports our coaches, reduces administrative burden, and makes high-quality chronic care scalable.

The new capital will be used to accelerate the expansion of Oska’s AI-powered care infrastructure, which augments care teams and has supported chronically ill patients for more than three years.
