Norbert Health has announced a $14 million Series A supported by William A. Marino with Cardinal Group, with participation from Exor Seeds, CareIT, and angel investors including Alexis Le-Quoc and Olivier Pomel of Datadog, Saeju Jeong of Noom and Thomas Clozel of Owkin. That brings the company’s total raised to $19 million.
The company works out of Brooklyn, New York, and it does not build robots. It builds the control system that turns someone else’s robotic hardware into an autonomous nursing assistant.
Robots can already walk, navigate and carry things. What they cannot do is the clinical part, and that gap is what Norbert fills. Norbert-powered machines make rounds, capture vital signs without touching the patient, run assessments, handle patient requests and write every encounter into the electronic health record.
Those abilities run on the company’s own sensing and interaction stack: contactless physiology, mobility and motor function, cognitive and mental health markers, and behavioral and social activity. The interaction layer lets the robots hold a conversation with patients across languages and communication styles, run structured assessments and coordinate with staff. The point is catching the small changes that later turn into readmissions and acute events, while leaving nurses and CNAs free for the judgment and hands-on care only they can provide.
It is already running in production. Since August 2025, Norbert has been rounding on hundreds of patients daily across skilled nursing facilities. Patient acceptance sits at 96%. Monitoring compliance has reached 82%, close to twice the baseline for manual remote monitoring. Care teams catch acute events early every week, and the rounds activate compliant reimbursable opportunities and value-based care capabilities that the company says are profitable from day one.
The new capital will deepen the clinical skill library, advance regulatory clearances and expand deployments across skilled nursing and into other care settings. Work underway includes post-fall neurological evaluations, pressure injury prevention protocols, cognitive screening and fall risk reassessment, each shipping on top of the installed base rather than requiring new hardware.
