Arya raises $18.2M Series A to build the AI-native “system of action” for distributed care
My little daughter Arya- the namesake behind Arya Health- helped me share the story today of the company's $18.2 million Series A funding to accelerate our mission of automating the administrative backbone of distributed care.
The round brings Arya’s total funding to $25 million. It fuels our next chapter - scaling our teams, expanding our AI agents, and connecting more deeply with the systems that make care work across homes, communities, and screens.
Rewiring the $500B administrative backbone of distributed care
Every year, the U.S. spends more than $450 billion on non-clinical administrative work in healthcare-tasks like intake, scheduling, onboarding, compliance, and payroll coordination. In post-acute care, up to 27% of total budgets go toward these functions.
At Arya, we believe this system is unsustainable. Providers are managing complex human and data coordination through manual processes-armies of people moving patients, caregivers, and spreadsheets around. As caregiver shortages worsen, administrative complexity compounds, and margins shrink, the industry can no longer afford to scale by adding headcount.
Arya is building a new model: a digital workforce purpose-built for distributed care. Our agents sit alongside the EMR and autonomously manage the workflows that humans currently do by hand-onboarding patients and caregivers, scheduling shifts, tracking compliance, following up with caregivers, and more.
We call this a system of action. It doesn’t just store data. It actually does the work.
Built for healthcare, by healthcare and AI operators
Our agents aren’t narrow automations. They’re intelligent, configurable, and designed to operate like members of an administrative team:
- Scheduling Agent - matches caregivers to visits, resolving coverage gaps autonomously.
- Onboarding Agent - accelerates new-hire readiness with 50% faster time-to-first-staffing and 70% less administrative work.
- Compliance Agent - eliminates manual license tracking and reminders, deploys in under a week.
- Talent Agent - recruits and onboards caregivers end-to-end with 60% less effort.
- (Coming in Q4 ‘25) Intake Agent - automates start-of-care coordination and patient onboarding bottlenecks.
All Arya agents share a unified data graph with deep EMR read/write access, multimodal communication (text, voice, and email), and full compliance audit trails. They operate in co-pilot or autopilot mode-augmenting human teams first, then automating fully as trust builds.
Arya is not another dashboard. Arya is the admin team, automated.
Traction and momentum
Over the past 12 months, Arya has grown revenue more than 6x, is pacing toward 10x year-over-year growth, and serves some of the most sophisticated home-based care providers in the country-including TheKey, Team Select Home Care, and Thrive Skilled Pediatric Care.
The rise of digital labor in healthcare
Legacy EMRs were built to document care, not coordinate it. As a result, healthcare organizations have spent decades layering on staff and point solutions that only make workflows more fragmented.
Arya represents a new class of software: agentic, autonomous, and deeply healthcare-native. Our vision is to collapse the cost of coordination by introducing digital labor-AI that actually performs work, not just suggests or summarizes it.
What comes next
With this Series A, we’re accelerating on three fronts:
- Product Expansion - Building new agents to further our mandate to compress administrative overhead, starting with a new intake agent rolling out to design partners in Q4 ‘25.
- Scaling Deployments - Expanding implementations across national distributed care networks faster and more reliably, without compromising on security.
- Operational Excellence - Growing the Care@Home Center of Excellence, led by Melinda Phillips, former CEO of Thrive Skilled Pediatric Care, to guide AI adoption across providers.
As Fred Johnson, CEO at Team Select Home Care, put it:
“Arya represents exactly the kind of innovation post-acute care needs right now. They’re pairing deep operational expertise with cutting-edge AI to unlock entirely new economics for providers-without sacrificing the humanity at the heart of care.”
Building the future of distributed care operations
Arya’s long-term mission is simple but profound: collapse the cost of coordination in distributed care.
When every patient intake and scheduling conflict is resolved, every compliance task handled, and every onboarding workflow executed-instantly, correctly, and invisibly by software-care becomes scalable again.
That’s the future we’re building: A healthcare system where humans focus on caring, and AI handles the rest.
