Company mission

We build Care Enablement for care teams - combining online consultation with productivity tools in a realtime multiplayer dashboard. By doing this, we get people optimal care within 24 hours.

Our take

Every year, thousands of preventable deaths occur due to inefficiencies in our healthcare systems. Anima is setting out to solve this problem by delivering an automated total triage system to healthcare practitioners.

Anima was founded by a Cambridge University trained doctor and was part of the prestigious startup accelerator Y Combinator's Winter 2021 batch, raising a $2.5m seed round in just 4 days. Anima can speed up clinical workflow by ten times by safely automating healthcare to an unprecedented level - taking a history, abstracting the data, and outputting recommendations with auto-generated clinical notes and patient comms. Since launching, Anima is already live in practices across the UK, being used by real doctors and patients.

Anima has set itself an ambitious and difficult goal, but the team is pretty unique among health-techs: there's no separate product & engineering team - instead, Anima's clinical engineers are both their own customers (MDs) and are proficient in working full stack code, and collaborate with pure software engineers. The company owns a US machine learning patent, and their rapid growth makes this an exciting time to join.
