Startup Datamonk is using agentic AI to tackle one of healthcare’s toughest IT challenges, migrating and cleaning decades of medical imaging data, and has recently raised €1.6 million in pre-seed funding to accelerate this process for hospitals.

Healthtech evolving through the use of data and AI

Amsterdam-based Datamonk has secured €1.6 million in pre-seed funding to advance its platform that automates the migration of large medical imaging archives, such as X-rays, CT scans and MRIs, from legacy hospital systems to modern, AI-ready environments. The round was led by Healthy.Capital and Nina Capital, with additional backing from angel investors.

Founded in 2024 by Jaap Gielink, Jai Bhatia and Matthew Condron, Datamonk combines expertise in healthcare analytics, data migration and AI. Based in Amsterdam, the company aims to build the data foundation for modern healthcare while reinforcing the city’s position in Europe’s healthtech and AI ecosystem.

Datamonk uses AI agents to automate and speed up medical imaging data migrations, detect and correct metadata errors, standardise study names, and validate data as it transfers. This approach, the company claims, makes migrations up to ten times faster than traditional methods, delivering cleaner data for clinical, research and AI use.

Clean and connected data is the foundation for modern healthcare. We don’t just move imaging data – we clean it and make it usable so hospitals can trust it’s ready for care and innovation.

What is happening with AI in Amsterdam?

As healthcare becomes more data-centric, having companies that can solve data quality, metadata, integrity, and interoperability challenges is fundamental, not just for private growth, but for public health and clinical readiness.

Alongside Datamonk, companies such as Aidence are applying AI to medical imaging, while the Amsterdam UMC-led AI4AI consortium is improving how imaging data is used in diagnostics and training. Amsterdam Science Park is also building a strong reputation in health innovation. With its leading institutions in AI, data science and research, the hub attracts investment and skilled talent. Innovations developed here help advance diagnostics and medical research, while reinforcing the city’s strengths in health infrastructure.
