Our Story
Co-founders Peter Hansell and James Jurkiewicz had professional experience in healthcare transformation but following personal experience of seeing how difficult it is to provide healthcare to vulnerable family members they were motivated to find a solution.
They realised that they could provide clinicians with a way to receive the data they need to effectively monitor patients’ conditions remotely and have greater context for decision making.
In case you are wondering, Isla is named after one of our co-founders beloved dog who was in the Guide Dog training programme, which, just like our company, is about helping people.
What we believe in
Our goal is to help clinicians make the best clinical decisions they can. We do this by supporting patients and clinicians to surface important information about any condition through images, videos, clinical forms and sound recordings. This allows for remote-first healthcare delivered at scale and keeping patients safe at home.
