What Tuli Health does

Tuli health is turning all 11 000 independent pharmacies in the UK into diagnostic centers. Our software makes it easy for these pharmacies to sell and fulfill COVID-19 tests today and other diagnostic tests tomorrow. Instead of waiting for a long time or travelling a long distance to receive the tests, customers can now receive tests in their neighbourhood, with results guaranteed in 24 hours. Tuli Health was launched in June, had onboarded 147 pharmacies, performed over 7000 diagnostic tests, and helped pharmacies generate $1.3 million in incremental revenue per month. The vision is to make every local pharmacy into a diagnostic center powered by Tuli Health.

Transforming UK pharmacies into diagnostic centers

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

We built software that lets independent pharmacies easily sell and fulfill COVID-19 tests today, and other diagnostic tests tomorrow. It connects customers with their neighborhood pharmacies so they don't have to travel far or wait days for results. Our system guarantees results within 24 hours and helps pharmacies generate meaningful revenue from diagnostic testing.

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

We live in London and the company is based in London, England after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are in London because that's where the UK-wide independent pharmacies are, and where we can work closely with our early customers. It also puts us near investors and talent for healthcare tech in the UK.
