NEW YORK—Arya Health, an artificial intelligence (AI) company helping home health and post-acute care providers automate scheduling, compliance and other administrative operations, announced its $18.2 million Series A funding. The round was led by ACME Capital, with participation from Ridge Ventures, Twelve Below, executives from OpenAI and post-acute care providers, bringing Arya's total funding to $25 million.
Arya said it is building a new AI-native "system of action" that sits alongside the electronic medical record (EMR) to automate the administrative load that burdens front office teams, slows growth and diverts resources from patient care and caregiver support.
"Post-acute care organizations spend roughly 25 cents of every dollar on non-clinical tasks," said Kunal Sarda, CEO and co-founder of Arya Health. "That's time and money that should be going toward caregivers and patients, not process. Arya is flipping that equation by using AI to take on the operational burden so providers can focus on delivering care, not moving patients, caregivers and data around in their EMR. Our mandate is to make post-acute care administration more scalable, human and cost-effective at the same time."
Arya's AI-powered digital agents automate post-acute care workflows, including caregiver scheduling, compliance tracking and hiring pipeline management. Recent innovations include the Onboarding Agent, which reduces time-to-first-staffing by 50% with 70% less administrative effort; the Talent Acquisition Agent, which autonomously recruits and schedules caregivers with 60% less human effort; and the Compliance Agent, which eliminates manual license tracking and deploys in just one week. The company said it is also preparing to launch an Intake Agent in Q4, designed to accelerate patient start of care and reduce critical back-office bottlenecks.
As part of this next phase, Arya has appointed Melinda Phillips, former CEO of Thrive Skilled Pediatric Care (acquired by Aveanna), to lead its Care@Home Center of Excellence, where she will help scale AI adoption across the homecare sector.
"Arya represents exactly the kind of innovation post-acute care needs right now," said Aike Ho, partner at ACME Capital. "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."
