Scan.com Reduces Diagnostic Wait Times to One Week
Scan.com, a leading diagnostic imaging platform, has recently made significant strides in reducing diagnostic wait times, bringing them down to just one week—a third of the NHS average. On August 9, 2022, the company announced the closure of a £2.2 million funding round, spearheaded by Triple Point Ventures, with notable contributions from StartUp Health and Plug and Play Ventures. This recent investment follows a successful £2 million seed round led by YZR Capital last year. The growing need for efficient medical imaging solutions has never been more pressing, especially with reports indicating that 1 in 4 NHS patients face wait times exceeding six weeks for their scans.
Scan.
.com has developed a user-friendly and sophisticated online booking system that allows patients to schedule scans seamlessly. Once booked, patients receive a referral, undergo the scan, and obtain their results all within the span of a week. This streamlined process not only alleviates the administrative burdens faced by healthcare professionals but also significantly enhances patient access to essential diagnostic services. Charlie Bullock, the co-founder and CEO of Scan.com, articulated the company's mission, stating, "We’re incredibly excited to use this latest round of funding to empower even more people to take their healthcare into their own hands, by making diagnostic imaging accessible to everyone, everywhere."
As part of its strategic growth plan, Scan.com is focusing on expanding its diagnostics-as-a-service model in the USA and Germany while rapidly scaling its B2B platform in the UK. The latest round of funding will enable Scan.com to introduce new products tailored for medicolegal, health insurance, and telehealth providers. With recent key hires like Dr. Lizzie Tuckey, formerly Head of Clinical Strategy at Bupa, the company is well-positioned to become a leader in the private medical imaging sector. Founders Jasper Nissim and Khalid Latief, along with Charlie Bullock and COO Oliver Knight, have built a platform that not only addresses the immediate needs of patients but also aims to reshape the future of healthcare on a global scale.
