The Patient Centre

Supporting patients with inflamatory bowel disease. 

 

Founder(s) name: Ali Sidat 

Company Name: The Patient Centre 

Industry Sector: Healthcare

Our Brand/Product: Software

Our Story: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease often struggle to reach their care teams when they need support. At present, the usual route is to leave a message on a voicemail helpline or with a consultant’s secretary. This process is slow and inefficient, leading to delays in response. These delays can cause unnecessary anxiety and, in many cases, drive patients to seek urgent help in accident and emergency. 
 
We have designed a programme that makes this process simpler, faster, and more supportive, while keeping the familiar foundations of a voicemail-based system. We expect it to reduce administrative workload for staff and provide quicker responses for patients. 
 
Importantly, it also helps address health inequalities by being inclusive of patients who may not speak English. 

Next Phase: To complete regulatory requirements and begin piloting our product in the NHS. We also aim to discuss commercial agreement and secure commercial contracts. 

Get Involved: We are open to the idea of investment. We anticipate early funding of up to £100k will be required to bring our product from pilot to market ready status.
