Ultramed, is an award-winning company founded in 2014 by Dr Paul Upton and Alan Sanders. Paul worked clinically for over 30 years in the NHS as an anaesthetist and later a Medical Director. Alan is a Creative Director, and owner of a high-end digital production company. Out of the combination of clinical leadership and design expertise has come Ultramed, providing ‘health technology for people’. Ultramed has developed a suite of programs, used in the preparation of patients for procedures and operations.
Ultramed provides cloud-hosted health technology placing innovation and first-class patient experience at the forefront of strategy. There are 10 million procedures, such as operations and endoscopies, performed in the NHS each year. Pre-procedure assessments are generally paper-based which is time consuming and expensive. A DoH Digital QIPP study predicted £65M p.a. savings if electronic preoperative assessments are used.
MyPreOp® is the flagship program, allowing patients to enter, own and share their information with their hospital from any device. MyPreOp® can be completed as a one-stop preoperative assessment following a surgical outpatient appointment or inputted by the patient from home. An electronic report is sent securely to the hospital to integrate into the EPR, using HL7 messaging and SNOMED-CT coded data. MyPreOp® is powered by complex algorithms which underpin the future development of a Personal Health Record. Sophisticated clinical decision support suggests which preoperative tests and actions should be considered by the assessment nurse. Over 5000 patients have successfully used MyPreOp® in commercial trials in the NHS and a UK private hospital.
The cloud-hosted programs are easy to set up in different countries, we are looking for health software distributors with access into non-UK markets. The distributors will have excellent access into their marketplace and be familiar with health IT software and integration between different systems.
