Value proposition

AI teammate that automates repetitive administrative work across existing NHS systems, freeing up staff capacity and reducing patient pathway delays — without replacing existing IT infrastructure.

Products and solutions

JUNO — AI agent for healthcare administrative teams. Automates: Referral Processing & Triage, Waiting List Management & Validation, Appointment Booking & Rescheduling, Patient Communications, Patient Tracking. Deployed in 8 weeks without IT changes.

Unique value

Unlike most health AI that targets clinicians (ambient scribing, clinical documentation), JUNO is purpose-built for the overlooked administrative layer that governs patient flow — delivering measurable capacity gains (221 staff days saved in 8 weeks) and 22% reduction in patient pathway time.

Target customer

NHS Trusts and healthcare providers — specifically administrative teams, operational leaders, transformation teams, and managers responsible for patient pathways

Industries served

Healthcare (NHS — National Health Service, UK public healthcare system)

Technology advantage

JUNO operates like a staff member across existing systems, understands pathway context, breaks work into safe steps, validates each step as it runs, and escalates to humans when needed. Deployable in 8 weeks without IT changes. Safe, auditable, and staff-controlled by design.

How they differentiate

Focuses on NHS administrative teams rather than clinicians; system-agnostic (works with existing EPR, PAS, e-RS systems without rip-and-replace); validated by real NHS pilot with independently verified results; built by team with deep NHS operational experience across 40+ Trusts.
