Zus Health raises $33 million to build the data layer for healthcare AI

Zus Health, the health data company founded by Jonathan Bush, has raised $33 million in a Series B round led by Drive Capital, Fierce Healthcare reports. Sanofi Ventures, HealthX Ventures and Alumni Ventures joined existing investors including Andreessen Horowitz, F-Prime, Maverick Ventures and JAZZ Venture Partners. The round brings Zus's total funding to more than $100 million.

Zus builds a continuously updated patient record that pulls data from electronic health record networks, pharmacies, labs and care event notifications, so care teams see a fuller history across providers. The company argues that healthcare AI copilots and agents need this kind of connected data to work reliably, and it will use the money for its patient record platform, its national data network and AI workflows that automate care tasks.

"With AI, we have an extraordinary opportunity to build workflows that actually make delivering care easier, faster and more effective," Bush told Fierce Healthcare.
