Company mission
To solve the healthcare supply-demand mismatch problem.
Our take
The UK’s healthcare staffing crisis is only deepening, and as backlogs grow there’s a number of medtech startups that have noticed a good market opportunity: matching up unfilled shifts with professionals looking for more flexible, part time work. Thus the healthcare digital marketplace concept was born, and it’s one that Nolea Health is looking to bring to the mental healthcare sector.
The new Nolea Health platform matches organisations like hospitals and telehealth companies with vetted mental health clinicians looking for flexible, hourly work. This is the same model that Florence is using for social care, or that CareRev is using for healthcare professionals more generally, and it taps into a kind of flexible employment model that’s growing in popularity.
Going the B2B route is potentially a smart play for Nolea Health, too. It allows them to cater both to shortfalls in existing organisations, and to new medtech startups and projects looking to address this issue themselves. Whilst Nolea Health finds a direct startup rival in Legion Health across the pond in the US, it appears for now to be unchallenged on its home turf.
