25-Mar-2025

Brainomix, a company pioneering AI-powered imaging tools in stroke and lung fibrosis, announced the completion of a £14M ($18M) Series C investment round. The round is co-led by prominent healthtech investors that include existing investors, Parkwalk Advisors, the UK’s largest growth EIS fund manager, and the Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund (BIVF), along with new investor Hostplus via the IP Group Hostplus Innovation Fund. Hostplus is a leading Australian industry superannuation (pension) fund with over AUD$120 billion in funds under management. The round was supported by LifeSci Capital.

A spinout from the University of Oxford, Brainomix now operates in more than 20 countries globally, including the US. It has pioneered the development of an AI platform, Brainomix 360 Stroke, that automates validated imaging biomarkers to improve both diagnosis and treatment decisions. Brainomix is the established European market leader, with a NICE-endorsed technology that has been deployed to more than 300 hospitals, having benefitted more than 1.5M patients.

The company has demonstrated a unique ability to impact treatment rates, with results showing that Brainomix 360 Stroke was associated with an additional 50% increase in the number of patients receiving mechanical thrombectomy, a life-changing stroke treatment reducing disability.

This new investment will enable Brainomix to accelerate its commercial expansion into the US, where the company has recently secured ten FDA clearances. Fresh funding will also support Brainomix to advance its portfolio of AI-powered technology in new areas, facilitating faster diagnosis and increasing access to life-saving treatments. Having grown to a company of more than 75 staff, Brainomix plans to expand both its Oxford-based operations and global commercial team.

Brainomix has applied its AI expertise to lung fibrosis, with the development and FDA clearance of its Brainomix 360 e-Lung technology to accurately predict the progression of the disease. The company has an ongoing partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim, the global leader in lung fibrosis treatments, to evaluate the real-world impact of e-Lung to improve the identification and access to treatment for people with progressive lung fibrosis.
