The platform is omnichannel, extending the same workflows to text, and integrates with Microsoft Foundry for deploying and monitoring the models behind LOLA's conversational capabilities, plus Azure Speech for the voice layer. Around LOLA, care teams configure protocols, manage escalations, coordinate workflows and connect to existing EHRs, CRMs and call center systems.\n\nHealth systems and payers run LOLA across post-discharge follow-up and Transitional Care Management, Chronic Care Management and monitoring check-ins, care-gap closure and quality outreach including medication adherence, pharmacy operations such as prescription refills, and patient access workflows such as scheduling. Tucuvi said more than 80 health settings run 50+ workflow types on the platform, and that its technology is certified as Class IIb Software as a Medical Device in the European Union.\n\n\"Health systems tell us they want one platform across access and clinical care, and that the clinical side is where the requirements get strict,\" said María González Manso, CEO and co-founder of Tucuvi. Tom Davis, General Manager, Microsoft for Startups, said the initiative gives select startups access to Microsoft Azure's AI models, enterprise-grade security and privacy, and go-to-market support.\n\n## Tucuvi's Funding and US Expansion\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Tucuvi raised €17 million (approximately $20 million) in a January 2026 Series A led by Cathay Innovation and Kfund's Leadwind vehicle, with participation from Frontline Ventures, Seaya Ventures and Shilling, to scale LOLA and accelerate European and US expansion. The same records show the company established US operations through Tucuvi Health Inc. in New York, and that it obtained ENS High Level certification under Royal Decree 311/2022 in October 2025, unlocking deployment across the Spanish National Health System. Tucuvi's profile lists seven funding rounds on record and total funding of $29.6 million.\n\n## Care Management Alliances Across the Sector\n\nElligint Health and Sagility announced a strategic alliance on October 14, 2026 to offer health plans a turnkey care and utilization management solution combining Elligint's Helios platform with Sagility's operational services, [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/949092021/elligint-health-sagility-announce-alliance-to-deliver-turnkey-care-utilization-management-solutions-for-health-plans) reported.
