AI Platform Slashes Home Health Clinician Turnover by 36%

In October 2023, healthcare technology company io Health announced that it had raised $2 million in seed funding to expand its artificial intelligence platform. The investment round was led by Nina Capital, a venture firm specializing in health tech with international market potential.

The Los Angeles-based io Health says its platform has already helped early customers achieve significant results, including a 36% reduction in clinician turnover and a 25% cut in quality assurance rework. These metrics are crucial in an industry where replacing a single nurse can cost agencies tens of thousands of dollars.

The U.S. home health market is vast and growing, estimated to reach $381 billion by 2033. However, home health agencies face rising regulatory pressure, narrowing margins, and a tightening labor market that makes recruiting and retaining skilled clinicians increasingly difficult. Documentation errors during patient assessments often lead to lengthy quality assurance reviews, delaying billing and disrupting cash flow.
