After eight years of building and validating in the background, StartUp Health community member Mehmet Kazgan of cliexa has arrived at the moment he has been preparing for. While the industry has focused on AI scribes and documentation tools, cliexa has been doing something harder: building the clinical reasoning engine that makes all of those tools smarter.

Most health innovation reaches people already inside the system. The Civic Health Forum is built around everyone else.

On June 16 at Civic Hall in New York City, we're convening investors, AI leaders, payors, providers, and founders around the hardest — and most important — challenge in health: preventing illness before it starts, at population scale. Co-hosted by Fedcap, DHHF, and StartUp Health, this half-day forum combines strategic dialogue with structured investor meetings and curated founder showcases, all focused on moving ideas toward real capital and deployment.

Early-bird pricing ends Monday, March 30.

This week's funding roundup spans clinical AI, medtech, mental health, rehabilitation technology, neuromodulation, maternal care, and clinical trials infrastructure, with deals from the US, UK, Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland, and Spain.
