London-based Babylon Health is poised to take healthcare and GP visits in a digital direction

“In the current context we don’t really have healthcare systems; we call them healthcare systems, but essentially they’re sick-care systems.”

According to Babylon Health CTO Gary Mudie, that we only seek care when we’re sick is a flawed system. In an ideal world, people would stay on top of things, get diagnosed earlier, and be more proactive.

Of course we don’t live in an ideal world, but for many companies in the health tech space, there’s a common frustration over the access to simple health services and how we can make them better. The dream is an easy technological solution that helps doctors and patients alike to stay on top of symptoms and diagnoses.
