Huma, a London, UK-based innovator in healthcare AI and digital health solutions, announced its acquisition of eConsult, a UK-based provider of a digital-first triage and automated consultation platform across primary and emergency care.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
The eConsult acquisition follows Huma’s strategic acquisition of iPlato, a UK based provider of screening, appointment booking, medicines management and communication tools installed in the majority of UK GP practices. This expansion consolidates Huma’s mission to accelerate the adoption of digital solutions across the healthcare landscape. Huma is implemented in more than two-thirds of all primary and secondary care providers in the UK.
Led by CEO Dr Murray Ellender, eConsult is a provider of a digital triage platform in healthcare, used by over 1,800 NHS GP practices and a growing number of NHS Acute Trusts. In General Practice, it enables patients to consult with their healthcare provider remotely, ensuring that they receive the care they need promptly and to date has delivered 50m consultations in this setting. The structured history collected from patients ensures the right patient gets to the right clinician first time, every time.
Led by CEO & Founder Dan Vahdat, Huma is a global healthcare AI company on a mission to accelerate the adoption of digital solutions in care and research. The technology powers over 4,500 hospitals and clinics globally and has screened, triaged, and engaged over 50 million individuals across 70+ countries. The company plays a pivotal role in national healthcare projects across the US, UK, Germany, Greece, and Saudi Arabia and collaborates with leading pharmaceutical companies and CROs.
Huma’s solutions are live in more than 80 NHS Trusts and across two-thirds of primary care practices. The Huma Cloud Platform is built on a strong regulatory foundation, achieving FDA 510(k) Class II, EU MDR Class IIb, Saudi FDA Class C, and India CDSCO Class C clearances.
In addition to this acquisition, the company has recently launched the Huma Cloud Platform and Huma’s Workspace, which enables primary care providers (GPs), community and secondary care providers (NHS Trusts), and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to access a comprehensive array of digital health solutions. These include appointment booking, automated prescriptions, screening tools, teleconsultation, remote monitoring, virtual wards (for hospitals), patient education and disease management apps for rare, chronic and acute conditions, messaging tools, and electronic data capture (EDC) for clinical research and more. Huma Workspace offers a proactive care model and set of automation solutions tailored to primary care (GPs), community hospitals, and secondary care facilities. The platform is integrated with hospital systems and primary care EMR providers, such as SystemOne, EMIS, Epic, CompuGroup Medical, Oracle and many more. Additionally, it embeds into the NHS app, creating a digital front door for patients and healthcare providers alike from existing solutions in the ecosystem.
