Denmark-based Corti, a SaaS startup using AI to help health professionals improve patient consultations on phone or video in real time, raises $27M Series A

Context & Ripple Effects
Corti's $27M Series A lands in the middle of a Nordic telehealth funding wave — Sweden's Kry had just pulled in a €262M Series D months earlier — but the two plays are different layers of the same stack: Kry sells the consultation channel, while Corti sells the AI that sits inside it, listening to phone and video consultations in real time and coaching the clinician. The raise also extends a pattern of AI-assisted clinical decision tools, from Curai's chat-based doctor support to Activ Surgical's real-time surgical intelligence.
The bet aged well: by 2023 Corti had pivoted its positioning toward transcription and paperwork automation and raised $60M at a $260M valuation led by Atomico and Prosus, and by 2025 Stockholm's Tandem Health was raising its own $50M Series A for a near-identical consultation-recording copilot — evidence that the category this round seeded became a contested European market.
First-order effects
- Corti gains the capital to move its real-time consultation copilot from pilot deployments into scaled hospital and clinic rollouts across phone and video channels.
- Telehealth providers like Kry now have a credible Nordic supplier for an in-call AI layer they don't have to build themselves.
Second-order effects
- The validated demand pulls in direct competitors — Tandem Health's 2025 raise shows the consultation-copilot slot attracting well-funded entrants, pressuring pricing and forcing differentiation between real-time coaching and post-visit documentation.
- Hospitals weighing telehealth platform contracts start evaluating the embedded AI layer separately, shifting procurement conversations toward transcription quality, paperwork reduction, and integration.
Third-order effects
- If the pattern holds, European clinical AI splits into two durable layers — the consultation channel and the ambient copilot that documents it — with the copilot layer consolidating around a few scaled vendors rather than being built in-house by each provider.
- The funding arc from real-time coaching (2021) toward transcription and paperwork automation (2023) suggests the commercial center of gravity in this category settles on reducing clinician administrative load, not decision support.
The trend: Clinical AI in Europe is consolidating into an ambient documentation layer that sits inside telehealth consultations, with Nordic startups and their backers racing to own it.
