Saudi-based Metafare, a digital health and virtual reality startup, has closed its first funding round worth $1 million, with backing from Harmonics Ventures and several family offices.
The funding will support Metafare’s plans to expand its presence in Saudi Arabia, develop its AI-powered personalization technologies, grow its health content library, and gradually enter wider Gulf markets.
A new model for digital health
Metafare is building a different approach to healthcare by combining virtual reality and artificial intelligence to deliver interactive health experiences that can be accessed remotely, without the need to visit traditional medical facilities.
The platform focuses on helping users improve both physical fitness and mental wellbeing through short, personalized sessions that fit easily into daily routines, whether at home or in the workplace.
15-minute virtual wellness sessions
Metafare offers short virtual health sessions that last no more than 15 minutes, designed for individuals in work and home environments.
These sessions include customized content such as fitness exercises, meditation techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapy programs, tailored to each user’s needs.
More than 3,000 virtual health sessions delivered
Since its launch in mid-2025, Metafare has delivered more than 3,000 virtual health sessions, reflecting growing demand for flexible digital health solutions among both individuals and organizations.
This growth also points to the increasing interest of companies in employee wellbeing programs that can support productivity, mental health, and healthier daily habits.
Expanding across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf
Metafare plans to use the new funding to enhance its AI-based personalization capabilities, expand its health content library, strengthen its reach in the Saudi market, and gradually scale across the Gulf region.
The investment reflects a broader regional shift toward technology-enabled healthcare solutions, especially those that combine innovation, accessibility, and scalable delivery.
As global interest in digital health continues to grow, Metafare appears well positioned to benefit from this momentum through a flexible model that connects healthcare, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality in a more interactive and accessible way.
