Digital health startup Vitalls has secured a $1.5 million investment from Singapore-based EST Growmore. The capital will fund the rollout of an AI-powered health passport designed to resolve the international fragmentation of patient records.
Why it matters
The investment aims to solve the technical and logistical challenges of cross-border healthcare data sharing. For providers and operators, this marks a new attempt to standardize patient records across disparate global systems.
The seed round features a $1.5 million commitment from EST Growmore, plus an option for $1 million in additional funding. It remains unclear how Vitalls will allocate these funds across its platform development versus international partnership acquisition.
