Transforming Systems wins at first Mayor of London awards

Transforming Systems is an industry partner with KSS AHSN and we are delighted to see them continuing to grow and reach more patients in KSS and beyond. We recently created this short video of Colin Rees, Managing Director of Transforming Systems, at the national Expo last year in Manchester where he talks a little bit about how the AHSN has supported his journey with the NHS.

The MedTech Business awards are part of the Mayor of London’s annual MedTech Conference, run by MedTech London, a business support initiative run by the South East Health Technologies Alliance (SEHTA) in collaboration with MedCity, funded by the Mayor of London.

MedTech London also publish a MedTech London Review and Directory, which will be launched at the event. It examines trends in the industry, and provides the first database of the over 300 medical tech firms in the capital.

Rajesh Agrawal, London’s Deputy Mayor for Business, said: “London is proudly home to hundreds of the world’s most innovative medical tech companies. Not only do they provide high-skill jobs and boost our capital’s economy, they also develop lifesaving, creative products for patients the world over. We know that our health service is under more and more pressure, so innovation and fresh thinking like this is vital.”

Dr David Parry, CEO, SEHTA said; “We are proud to have launched the 1st Mayor of London MedTech Business Awards.  We had a record number of entries from London-based companies and the competition was intense demonstrating the excellence of small health technology companies in the capital.  It’s a primary aim of SEHTA to help such companies’ access public and private sector markets with their innovative products and services”.

Sarah Haywood, CEO at MedCity, who was part of the judging panel said: “These awards demonstrate the scale and range of MedTech companies in the capital, that form part of our world-leading life sciences sector. From Deontics’ AI clinical pathways system, to Echo’s prescription management app and Transforming Systems’ data-capturing platform; these young companies are already making a big impact on patient care. One thing that stood out to me is the collaborations across industry, academia, the NHS, and patients, which has made these the innovative, successful products they are”.

The five award winners will be entered in to the National MedilinkUK Awards in Coventry on the 25th of April, which is part of the Med-Tech Expo 2018:

Deontics provides clinically-led artificial intelligence that delivers individualised, evidence-based clinical decision recommendations, acting like a “clinical sat-nav” for doctors and patients. The technology uses large amounts of data, evidence, and patient preferences to create personalised disease management plans, which can be used in any clinical environment.

Echo is a simple, free and secure app that lets you order NHS prescriptions and get medication delivered to your door. Patients simply tell the app who their GP is and what repeat medication they need. The app sorts out the prescription and delivers medication for free. Smart reminders nudge patients when to take meds and when they are about to run out.
