How can your specific technology actually help close the gap between the NHS and private care?
Dr Tuckey: The real value of AI in diagnostics is operational. Better scheduling, faster imaging workflows and improved scanner utilisation mean more patients can be seen at a lower cost per scan. Across the Scan. com network, we’ ve seen imaging providers increase scanner utilisation by up to 50 %, helping reduce delays and improve access to care.
Dr Baker: If you take Tandem, we’ re currently in more than NHS trusts and across 97 % of primary care in the UK. Deploying across the NHS allows patients from any background to receive AI-enabled care, democratising it in a way that no private health network can match.
Dr King: One of the biggest differentiators between public and private healthcare is convenience. Patients often don’ t want different treatments – they want easier access to the same treatments. Today, around 70 % of the world’ s highest-grossing drugs are administered intravenously in clinical settings, creating a significant burden on healthcare systems. Our technology has the potential to move many of those therapies from hospital wards into people’ s homes. That means fewer appointments, reduced pressure on care capacity and a more patient-centred experience. Ultimately, we’ re working towards a future where the quality of treatment isn’ t determined by where it’ s delivered.
