Canadian Harsh Nayyar injured himself while working in Silicon Valley and received his medical imaging on a CD-ROM.
Disillusioned that this could happen at the epicenter of technology, Harsh co-founded PocketHealth upon his return home to Toronto with the goal of making medical imaging and records accessible to patients.
Eight years later, PocketHealth announced today that they have raised $45 million in Series B funding that included Round13 Capital, Deloitte Ventures and Samsung Next as well as existing investors Questa Capital and Radical Ventures.
With this funding round, PocketHealth has raised over $75 million in equity capital to date.

Today’s announcement is a significant milestone for PocketHealth and is a testament to the progress they’ve made in their mission to transform the way medical images are being shared — giving patients access, control and a deeper understanding of their health records while streamlining the way healthcare providers share imaging.
PocketHealth has become the only patient-centric image exchange platform in the industry. We’re empowering more than 1.5 million patients across 775 healthcare provider sites in the US and Canada with instant access to their medical imaging and leveraging AI to create a personalized healthcare experience for each patient.
With this investment, PocketHealth will continue to evolve how medical images are being shared, leverage AI to personalize the patient’s care journey, and grow their footprint across the US and Canada.
