Norbert Health has secured $14 million in a funding round that included a Series A and the conversion of SAFE notes. The capital was raised over approximately 18 months. Investors include Exor Seeds, CareIT, and various angel investors, such as Datadog founders Alexis Le-Quoc and Olivier Pomel, Noom cofounder Saeju Jeong, and Owkin founder Thomas Cloze.
The company develops a physical AI control system that enables mobile robots to function as autonomous nursing assistants. The technology allows robots to perform rounds, capture contactless vitals, conduct assessments, and document data directly into Electronic Health Records. The system monitors patients across four dimensions: physiology, mobility, cognitive state, and behavioral activity.
Since August 2025, the robots have been deployed in skilled nursing facilities. According to the company, the robots achieved a 96% patient acceptance rate and 82% monitoring compliance. Clinically actionable findings were recorded in over 40% of monitored residents. The startup operates on a Robot-as-a-Service model, charging facilities a monthly fee per unit.
Norbert Health targets a market that includes 1.7 million skilled nursing beds, 1.2 million assisted living beds, and 900,000 hospital beds in the US. In the near term, the company estimates a potential market of 200,000 robots valued at $16–30 billion. At full scale, the company projects a market of up to 1 million robots worth $80–150 billion.
The company plans to expand its clinical capabilities, including post-fall protocols and pressure-ulcer prevention, while deepening EHR integrations. Future goals include scaling deployments beyond skilled nursing facilities and establishing strategic partnerships with humanoid robot manufacturers to integrate Norbert’s software into their hardware.
