Amsterdam’s Datamonk secures €1.6M to speed up hospital imaging data migration with agentic AI

Amsterdam-based Datamonk, an AI platform for medical imaging, has raised funding to expand its operations and develop its technology.

Amsterdam-based Datamonk, an AI-powered platform for automating medical imaging data migrations, announced a total of €1.6M in funding to date.

Healthy.Capital and Nina Capital led the Dutch company’s pre-seed round, with participation from angel investors including Jeroen Tas, former Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer at Philips, and Harm-Jan Wessels, founder of Applicare (acquired by GE), Forcare (acquired by Philips), and HealthSsage AI. 

The total funding also includes earlier support from Antler and Rabobank.

Marta G. Zanchi, founder and Managing Partner at Nina Capital, says, “Imaging data is one of the most technically demanding areas of healthcare IT, given its scale and complexity. Datamonk’s use of agentic AI offers a scalable way to standardise and migrate data, creating the foundation for interoperability and future innovation.”

Capital utilisation

Datamonk’s platform addresses the challenge of moving and cleaning decades of medical imaging data in healthcare IT. The company will use the funds to further develop its platform, advance AI capabilities, and expand the team.

Douwe Jippes, co-founder and Managing Partner at Healthy.Capital, says, “Datamonk is solving a problem for every hospital and vendor. Datamonk’s platform will help keep radiology affordable and accessible. We are excited to back the team in their mission to power healthcare with clean, connected data.”

An agentic healthcare data platform

Hospitals and imaging centres maintain years of medical imaging data in Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). Many plan to move this data to new systems to streamline operations, unify platforms, and enable AI workflows. Traditional migrations of millions of studies are time-consuming and require substantial resources, often taking more than a year. Datamonk aims to address this challenge.

Founded in 2024, Datamonk has developed a platform that uses agentic AI to automate PACS and VNA migrations. The company’s founders include Jaap Gielink, Jai Bhatia, and Matthew Condron, who bring experience in healthcare data, analytics, and migrations.

Datamonk’s platform detects and corrects metadata issues, standardises study naming, and validates data integrity during the migration process. The software aims to reduce the time and manual effort involved in traditional migration projects, allowing hospitals to move data five to ten times faster.

The platform also prepares imaging data for clinical use, research, and AI applications, providing a data layer for healthcare providers transitioning to new systems.

Jaap Gielink says, “Clean and connected data is the foundation for modern healthcare, from everyday clinical decisions to the deployment of new AI applications. We don’t just move imaging data, we clean it and make it usable so hospitals can trust it is ready for clinical workflows, research, and innovation.”

“Getting access to integrated diagnostic data and insights is critical for healthcare providers, but imaging data migrations to the cloud have been a major showstopper. The Datamonk team brings a rare mix of healthcare, data, and AI expertise to solve this problem at scale,” adds Jeroen Tas, former Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer at Philips.
