Voxela Raises Series A, Total Funding Reaches US$13.2 Mln
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 (Bernama) -- Voxela Inc, a developer of vision artificial intelligence (AI) for long-term care facilities, has closed a Series A round led by Tokyo-based Delight Ventures, bringing its total funding since inception to about US$13.2 million. (US$1 = RM4.06)
Sompo Growth Partners, the venture arm of Japan's Sompo Group, joined as a new investor, alongside Hong Kong-based Happiness Capital and California-based Blue Heron Ventures. Existing investors also participated. The company did not disclose the round size or valuation.
In a statement, Voxela said it would use the new funding to expand its AI and product engineering teams, further automate documentation and reporting, expand deployments in Japan and establish its United States (US) commercial business.
“A sensor goes off, and a caregiver is at the bedside in seconds. Technology solved that. It has not touched the rest of the night. The problem is the system, not the way anyone works. We will use this capital to take the rest off caregivers' hands and give the hours back to residents,” said Voxela co-founder and chief executive officer, Yuta Endo.
Voxela's VCare platform analyses video from standard network cameras to automate incident documentation and reporting in long-term care facilities. Its AI analyses footage within about 30 seconds of an incident and generates a draft report within minutes for staff to review and complete.
The company said nearly all of its deployments are in Japan, where documentation, reporting and administrative work account for roughly half of caregivers' working hours, based on interviews with facility staff.
Facilities using VCare have reported reducing the time required to prepare incident reports from about an hour to minutes. At one rehabilitation hospital, camera-based check-ins replaced part of physical night rounds, with night-shift staff spending an average of 44 fewer minutes walking between rooms over five measured nights.
Voxela said these results were based on measurements and staff interviews at individual facilities and do not represent guaranteed outcomes.
In the US, VCare is being used at a residential care home in Folsom, California, while Voxela completed a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance assessment in March 2026.
