Healthcare technology should be built by those who truly understand healthcare. That's why Augmented Healthcare exists.

A Different Kind of Health Tech Company

We're not another tech company trying to disrupt healthcare from the outside. We're practising clinicians who build technology from within. Our team combines decades of frontline medical experience with deep technical expertise, creating AI that understands the reality of clinical practice.

At our core, we're what we call Clinical Engineers: professionals who bridge the divide between medicine and technology. This isn't just about understanding both worlds; it's about recognising that effective healthcare innovation demands both perspectives working in harmony.

Our Exceptional Team

Augmented Healthcare brings together a unique blend of expertise:

Clinical Leadership: Our founding GPs bring over a decade of experience across A&E, psychiatry, and medical and surgical specialities. One founder has spent seven years developing software alongside clinical practice, building everything from frontend interfaces to backend architectures and machine learning models. Another partner brings extensive medical education expertise, ensuring our technology not only works but teaches and supports clinical learning.

Human Understanding: Our team includes a professional actor with a Masters in Business, helping us capture and preserve the human elements of healthcare. They ensure our technology enhances rather than diminishes the doctor patient relationship, bringing insights into communication, empathy, and the subtle dynamics that make consultations effective.

Technical Excellence: We're mentored by a titan of the software industry with over 30 years delivering large scale projects. This guidance ensures we're not just building features, but creating robust, scalable systems that can transform healthcare at national scale.

Combined Expertise: Together, we code, architect systems, develop machine learning models, and most importantly, use our own technology in real clinical practice every day.

Built for Clinicians, By Clinicians

Every feature emerges from real clinical need. We experience the ten minute consultation pressure, the cognitive burden of keeping up with guidelines, the challenge of managing complex presentations. We build solutions because we live the problems.

Our AI understands consultations as they happen, providing realtime support when clinicians need it most. Not retrospective documentation, but active assistance during the consultation itself. This isn't theoretical; we use these tools in our own practices, refining them through thousands of real patient interactions.

The Vision: Augment, Not Replace

Our name reflects our philosophy. Augmented Healthcare believes in enhancing clinical practice, not replacing clinicians. The compassion, intuition, and ability to read what isn't said remain irreplaceable human skills. But the overwhelming cognitive burden, administrative overhead, and expectation of perfect recall across thousands of guidelines? These are problems technology should solve.

We're building AI that works as a clinical partner: noticing patterns you might miss in a busy surgery, surfacing relevant guidelines at the right moment, handling administrative tasks while you focus on the patient. Technology that makes good clinicians even better.

UK Designed, Clinically Validated

As a UK company, we understand the NHS. We know the pressures, the workflows, the regulations. Our technology is built for UK primary care, tested in UK practices, and designed to meet the specific needs of our healthcare system.

We maintain the highest standards of clinical safety and data sovereignty. Your patient data stays in the UK, protected by clinicians who understand their professional obligations to confidentiality and safety.

Beyond Technology: A Movement

Augmented Healthcare represents more than software; it's a movement toward clinically informed health technology. We're proving that the best healthcare innovation comes from those who understand both the clinical problem and the technical solution at the deepest level.

Our growing team continues to attract exceptional talent: clinicians who code, developers who understand healthcare, and innovators who see the potential for technology to transform medicine without losing its humanity.

Join the Transformation

Whether you're a clinician interested in tools that actually help, a healthcare organisation seeking genuine innovation, or someone who shares our vision of augmented healthcare, we invite you to join us.

The future of medicine isn't about choosing between human expertise and artificial intelligence. It's about combining them in ways that enhance both. That's what we're building at Augmented Healthcare.

Because healthcare technology should be built by those who truly understand healthcare.
