AI Drives Record Healthtech Investment in Provider Operations, SVB Report Shows
AI-enabled provider operations have drawn the largest share of Healthtech investment in 2025, announced in a press release by Silicon Valley Bank. The report shows that this sub-sector represents 44% of overall Healthtech funding and 73% of mega-deals so far this year.
According to the bank’s 2025 *Future of Healthtech Report*, $5.5 billion has already been invested in provider operations—activities such as scheduling, documentation, and billing—with projections reaching $8.25 billion by year-end. This would surpass the previous record of $7.8 billion set in 2021.
The report highlights that AI-related deals make up over half of all transactions in 2025, with seed-stage AI valuations up 42% since 2021. Generalist investors including Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, and GV contributed to a 22% valuation premium on mega-deals, which account for 38% of total Healthtech investment.
SVB also notes that alternative care, which represented 42% of Healthtech investment in 2021, has dropped to 9% in 2025, while provider operations have risen from 19% to nearly half of all investment activity. The bank recorded 32 mergers and acquisitions in provider operations this year, with private equity exits on track for record highs.
