What Healthtech 1 does

Healthtech-1 automates repetitive processes for healthcare systems. We’re starting with the world’s most famous: the NHS. We’re already live in over 1,400+ primary care practices. Based out of Raj's parents' Primary Care practice the Healthtech 1 team are systematically digitising the repetitive processes they experience everyday, saving thousands of hours of staff time. Why now? The UK's National Health Service (NHS) delivers free healthcare in 590 million patient contacts every year. Post-pandemic, Britain's most treasured institution is in crisis. Patient satisfaction is at 25 year low and 1/7 staff are applying for Non-NHS jobs fuelling an 11% recruitment gap. By digitising the 100s of repetitive processes in healthcare, Healthtech 1 will reverse the trend, and produce the world's most productive health care system.

Automating repetitive processes in healthcare

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built software that automates repetitive tasks in healthcare, starting with primary care processes in the NHS. Our product integrates with existing systems to save staff thousands of hours on admin work and streamline workflows for clinicians and office staff.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and base the company in London, England, and plan to stay here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Because our product is built in and for the NHS, being located in London keeps us close to users and the healthcare ecosystem we serve. Raj's parents' NHS primary care practice in London is our initial testbed and anchor customer.
