UK eHealth companies raised £744m in 2022 at the peak of the post-pandemic wave — and, unlike many digital sectors that boomed and busted, the investment pipeline has held. Annual funding has stayed above £348m every year since, with 2025 delivering another £488m. In total, eHealth companies in the UK have raised £3.80b across all equity fundraisings tracked by Beauhurst.
We’ve ranked the top 100 eHealth companies by total equity raised (all data sourced from the Beauhurst platform).
What is eHealth?
eHealth — short for electronic health — covers the use of digital technology to deliver, manage, and improve healthcare. It spans telehealth platforms, remote patient monitoring, electronic health records, digital pharmacies, AI-assisted diagnostics, mental health apps, and software for clinicians, carers, and hospitals.
Beauhurst tracks 748 active eHealth companies in the UK, up from 246 in the final quarter of 2015 — a 204% increase over the decade. Together, these companies have raised £3.80b, with £3.10b of that arriving since 2020 (81% of the sector’s all-time total). The 94 companies reporting full financials generated £2.65b in turnover, and the sector supports an estimated 132,097 employees across the UK — the largest workforce of any technology sector we’ve analysed.
Key findings
- Cera tops the ranking with £480m raised. The East of England-based company provides homecare, telehealth consultations, and app-managed prescription services, and is the only top 100 company across our sector series to employ more than 1,000 people.
- Huma (£251m, London) takes second place in hospital records and remote patient monitoring, followed by Flo Health (£207m, London) in women’s health tracking, Osler Diagnostics (£144m, South East) in handheld biomarker testing, and Pelago Health (£103m, London) in digital substance abuse treatment. The top five account for 31% of all equity raised in UK eHealth.
- London hosts 52 of the top 100, followed by the South East (12), East of England (10), and North West (6). The top 100 spans 13 UK regions in total.
- Venture-stage businesses lead the top 100 (44), followed by growth-stage (28), 15 established companies, and six exited businesses — 21 mature names in total, second only to adtech in our series and a reflection of how long the NHS and private healthcare have been digital software buyers.
- The top 100 collectively raised £2.84b — 75% of the sector’s all-time total.
