Helping the NHS with patient discharge workflows
Founder(s) name: Romasal Malhi
Company Name: Celerix Health
Industry Sector: Digital Health / HealthTech / SaaS
Our Brand/Product: Welcome to Celerix Health, where we’re building Discharge Central—a cloud-based SaaS platform that automates hospital discharge workflows for NHS trusts. Our system converts discharge information into structured FHIR data, coordinates tasks, matches patients to appropriate post-hospital settings, books transport, and provides a secure “Ward-Chat” for multidisciplinary teams. The result? Faster bed turnover and improved continuity of care.
Our Story: On clinical placements, I saw the real-world impact of delayed discharges—patients medically ready to leave but stuck due to paperwork and coordination gaps. That experience, combined with my involvement in the MedTech Innovation Society at the University of Leicester, sparked a passion for solving this problem. After completing an MSc in Computer Science at the University of Birmingham, I registered Celerix Health as an NHS supplier via Atamis, mapped out our initial micro-service architecture, and joined the UoB Elevate programme to bring this vision to life.
Next Phase: We’re focused on building our minimum viable product with a fractional CTO and full-stack engineer, drafting clinical safety documentation (DCB 0129), applying for Innovate UK and SBRI grants, and finalising a pilot with a 600-bed NHS site for Q4 2026/Q1 2027.
Being part of The Exchange community offers a unique opportunity to connect with other start-ups, investors, and business leaders. We’re seeking mentors with NHS procurement and information governance experience, introductions to health tech investors and grant bodies, and access to focused workspace during monthly “build sprints.”
Get Involved: We’re preparing a £400k seed package:
- £250k in non-dilutive grants (Innovate UK Smart and/or SBRI Healthcare)
- £150k via SEIS-SAFE (<10% equity)
Funding will support MVP development, cloud hosting, clinical safety compliance, and our first NHS pilot deployment.
