Insider Brief

Teton.ai raised $20M in a Series A led by Plural with backing from Bertelsmann Investments, Antler Elevate, Nebular, and PSV Tech, to expand its predictive AI healthcare platform.
Its proprietary AI and computer vision shift care from reactive to predictive, improving patient outcomes, caregiver efficiency, and operator performance, with reported ARR growth of 13x and partnerships including Nvidia.
The funding will support U.S. nationwide launch, European expansion, and scaling of its engineering team to advance predictive intelligence in senior care and hospitals.

PRESS RELEASE — Teton.ai, the predictive intelligence company for modern healthcare, announced a $20 million Series A fundraise. The round was led by Plural, which also led Teton’s seed round, with participation from Bertelsmann Investments, Antler Elevate and Nebular and follow-on investment from PSV Tech. The fundraise underscores Teton’s superior technology platform and will accelerate its mission to make amazing care affordable and accessible for all.

Using proprietary AI and computer vision technology, Teton is the only platform that shifts care and the way it is delivered from reactive to predictive. This improves quality of care for patients and residents, job satisfaction for caregivers and business performance for owners and operators. Ultimately, it lowers the cost of and increases access to premium care.

Since seed, Teton has grown ARR 13x and partnered with Nvidia to develop the largest point-of-care dataset in senior care. The company is growing customer numbers 300% year-on-year, delivering concrete outcomes to senior care communities and hospitals across the U.S. and Europe. Teton is in advanced pilots with major U.S. asset owners to bring predictive care to hundreds of thousands more residents in elderly care.

Mikkel Wad Thorsen, CEO of Teton.ai, said: “The economics of senior care and healthcare are broken: costs rise, staff burn out and outcomes suffer. Shifting care from reactive to predictive changes the equation. Emergencies decline, staffing is planned with precision and every intervention creates value. At its core, this is a deflationary technology, making top-tier care more abundantly accessible to more people — extending the length and quality of life for residents while lowering the cost to deliver it. After years embedded inside care environments, we’ve built technology that impacts daily operations, delivering measurable ROI to operators from day one and structural advantages that only grow over time.”

“Teton is at the cutting edge of a much-needed transformation in healthcare,” said Taavet Hinrikus, Partner, Plural. “Within a short time, its technology is already reducing costs and resource needs while achieving the most important thing — improved health outcomes. It’s a complete gamechanger for owners, operators, caregivers, families and residents. The strength of Teton’s team and technology means it’s set to become the market leader as it solves a huge global problem.”

The inpatient, long-term care, skilled nursing facility and in-home care sector in the U.S., Europe and Asia represents a total addressable market of $220 billion. With this fundraise, Teton will build on exceptional demand for its offering by launching nationwide in the U.S., deepening its operations across Europe and supercharging its world-class engineering team to push the boundaries of predictive AI in care.

A New Paradigm for Care: Predictive Intelligence

Healthcare, particularly senior care, faces systemic and urgent challenges. Populations are aging, comorbidities are increasing. Care staff are over-burdened and exiting the industry at higher rates than ever. Costs are already steep and rising. Teton bridges the gap between care needs and care capacity, enabling wider access to premium care for ordinary families and their loved ones.

Teton’s platform delivers four critical capabilities:

Care runs on clarity. Teton’s AI and computer vision technology creates digital twins that continuously observe and understand what’s happening across residents, staff and space — passively and privately. This generates the clarity layer for care: data that has never existed before, which creates full health profiles of residents and granular insights into operations. This is not just more data, it is the right data: real-time, accurate and actionable.

Clarity becomes foresight. Teton tracks key health metrics and brings visibility to everyday patterns and changes, helping teams notice shifts and opportunities to intervene early. Teton forecasts workflows and staffing needs, so leaders and caregivers alike can plan ahead.

Foresight leads to action. Teton delivers the right message to the right person at the right time — preventative intervention, no unnecessary disturbances. Its platform removes administrative burden from caregivers to focus on what matters — providing human-to-human care. Teton gives leaders the capacity to make informed changes to staffing, workflows and billing.

Action drives outcomes. Teton delivers proven results to every part of the care ecosystem:

→ For residents, Teton creates a deep understanding of resident health and behavior that enables tailored care that is safer, more personalized and dignified. For example, Teton reduces falls — the leading cause of injury-related death in adults 65 years and older — by 82%.

→ For families, Teton delivers transparency, trust and, ultimately, more time with loved ones. For example, Teton enables families to monitor relatives’ health and well-being remotely, in real-time.

→ For caregivers, Teton gives time back to listen to, hold hands with — to care for — residents. For example, by reducing their administrative workload and planning their rounds, Teton saves 25% of caregivers’ time — every day. This is time they can spend caring for residents.

→ For operators, Teton optimizes workflows, increases occupancy and staff retention, lowers liability and captures full revenue. For example, against a backdrop of a global shortage of caregivers, Teton drives 28% higher staff retention.

→ For owners, Teton offers portfolio-wide transparency to attract more residents, reduce operational risk and boost returns. For example, Teton delivers 5x ROI as quickly as one year post-installation.

Teton’s platform fits seamlessly into daily routines, with no wearables, video streams or third parties involved at any stage. Its intelligent, unintrusive technology works behind the scenes, delivering actionable insights to frontline staff and leaders in easy-to-use apps.

Most Employees Don’t Know How To Adopt AI—Survey

Published

10 minutes ago

September 11, 2025

Suzanne Blake

The majority of employees say they don’t know how to adopt artificial intelligence, according to a new survey by The Harris Poll on behalf of MasterClass.

In the report, 49 percent of respondents said they feel direct pressure to adopt AI, yet 55 percent said they don’t know where to start.

Why It Matters

Artificial intelligence has changed the larger workforce and business landscape in America, with most companies looking to employ it as a way to boost productivity.

But unclear rules and policies around the technology have led to some confusion among workers. A previous study from Howdy.com found that 16 percent of professionals sometimes pretend to use AI.

What To Know

In the MasterClass survey of nearly 1,700 U.S. workers, 66 percent said they had to teach themselves AI on the job.

That’s in addition to 54 percent who say their employers aren’t providing adequate AI training.

The percentage was roughly the same among men and women, at 57 and 50 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, 57 percent of Gen Z, 53 percent of millennials and 53 percent of Gen X professionals said they were going without proper AI workplace training.

“In many ways, the rise of AI in recent years is similar to the same integration environment involving social media nearly 20 years ago,” Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek. “Whereas some employers with more tech-savvy employees were able to easily adapt to utilizing a new medium for communication and marketing, others took years to grasp how to use it effectively.”

Reza Hashemi, the CEO and founder of Binj and ZEROin AI, said there’s a perception that AI adoption is synonymous with career security, but many organizations often overestimate how seamlessly the new technology fits into daily workflows.

“Long term, if businesses don’t bridge the gap between hype and practical application, they risk creating a culture of fear and superficial adoption instead of true innovation,” Hashemi previously told Newsweek.

What People Are Saying

HR consultant Bryan Driscoll told Newsweek: “Most employees aren’t struggling with AI itself – they’re struggling with employers who won’t equip them. Workers are told to figure it out without training, support, or guardrails, while leadership races to show they’re innovative. Forcing workers to self-teach under pressure is a short-sighted gamble that reveals a hollow commitment to development.”

Beene told Newsweek: “With AI, we’re seeing businesses accustomed to a decades-long workflow now struggling to see what AI would truly change and benefit in their operations. Much like with social media, these employers will eventually find which methods best suit them, but don’t expect it to be rapid for all.”

What Happens Next

In the next few years, companies that don’t properly address AI could reduce the trust of their employees, Driscoll said.

“Long term, this isn’t just poor management. It’s a recipe for widening inequality and eroding trust in the workplace,” Driscoll said.

The Editors

SHARON, Pa. — Tammy Divens, teaching professor and program coordinator of Penn State Shenango’s occupational therapy assistant program, recently received a 2025 Faculty Engagement Award from Penn State Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT).

The mission of TLT is to explore new and emerging technologies and find collaborative ways to innovate and transform teaching pedagogy and learning strategies for faculty and students at Penn State. The theme of the 2025 Faculty Engagement Awards is “Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Teaching including Microsoft Copilot 365.” According to a release, faculty award recipients will collaborate with TLT to experiment with AI-driven tools to support course planning, content design and instructional delivery.

“I’ve been able to explore innovative educational technologies, collaborate with TLT, and engage with colleagues about using AI tools to enhance teaching and creativity,” said Divens, whose primary focus has been integrating generative AI into the classes that she teaches.

“I’ve used ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot to support course planning, improve presentations, develop new assignments, and align course content with accreditation requirements,” Divens said. “These tools have streamlined my preparation and allowed me to design more engaging and effective learning materials.”

According to Inside Higher Ed’s 2025-26 Student Voice survey, 85% of students who participated claim to have used generative AI for coursework in the last year. As part of the same survey, 43% of students felt somewhat positive or very positive about faculty use of generative AI, as long as it was done thoughtfully and made the instruction more relevant and efficient.

Divens plans to do just that.

“I have leveraged AI image generation through Adobe Express and ChatGPT to create course introduction videos and produce humorous or creative content to increase student engagement,” Divens said. “These efforts have enriched both the instructional design and the overall classroom experience.”

Faculty Engagement Award recipients work with an instructional designer and technology support staff from TLT to help identify the most effective in-class uses of a particular technology. Additionally, a TLT researcher may assess the impact of this technology and share relevant findings of the program with the greater Penn State community.
