Health Lean Analytics (HLA), a Barcelona-based startup specialising in automating data collection in hospital environments, has closed a financing round that brings the total capital raised to more than €2.1 million.
The transaction involves a mix of private capital and public funding, with Novanta, a US-listed public company, serving as a technology and strategic partner. HLA plans to leverage Novanta’s manufacturing and medical technology expertise, along with its access to the United States market, to navigate this new phase of growth and validate its technology in a highly challenging environment. Novanta will be represented on HLA’s Board of Directors.
Several family offices, including Inderhabs, Namarel, and Braincats, also participated in this transaction through an oversubscribed €1.4 million Seed funding. The company also secured a participative loan granted by the Spanish National Innovation Company (ENISA), a public entity under the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism. Last year, in May, the company closed its oversubscribed Seed round of more than €750k.
Mauro Batesteza, co-founder and Co-CEO of HLA, said, “The incorporation of Novanta as an advanced technology partner validates our technological and strategic strength and provides us with the resources and expertise needed to accelerate our R&D innovation.
“With this support, we will be able to initiate commercial deployment in the United States, a key market, and demonstrate how our technology transforms hospital management by increasing efficiency, safety and quality of patient care. This alliance undoubtedly marks the beginning of a new phase of international growth and the consolidation of our position as a benchmark in the sector.”
Founded in 2023, Health Lean Analytics is a hospital operations platform that leverages data and artificial intelligence to convert real clinical and operational data into actionable insights, enhancing the management and performance of healthcare institutions.
The company develops solutions based on data automation, the Internet of Things, advanced analytics, and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on the surgical suite, one of the most complex and critical environments within a hospital.
HLA states its technology passively captures clinical and operational data in real time without staff input. It also integrates with existing hospital systems, unifying data on patients, surgical materials, medication, operating room use, and equipment management.
According to the Spanish startup, it applies AI, large language models (LLMs) and operational agents to transform hospital data into real-time actionable decisions. Instead of just displaying information, the platform interprets patterns, predicts deviations, and recommends role-specific actions. This reduces costs, optimises surgical capacity, improves safety and care quality, frees clinical time, and enhances healthcare professionals’ experience.
“HLA has built a compelling AI and data analytics platform that transforms complex hospital operations into real-time, actionable intelligence. What excites us at Novanta is the convergence: our RFID and sensing technologies capture the data that powers HLA’s AI engine. Together, we’re closing the loop between physical hospital workflows and intelligent decision-making — a combination with the potential to fundamentally change how hospitals operate, starting with one of their most critical environments: the operating room,” said John Lesica, Co-COO of Novanta.
With the fresh capital, the company aims to consolidate its presence in the domestic market, accelerate its international expansion, starting with the United States as the primary strategic market and planning a commercial rollout within the next 12 months.
Additionally, it also plans to further enhance its R&D capabilities. It will continue strengthening its data automation, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence platform.
