Company mission
To combine research, technology and professional health coaching to help more than 100 million people prepare for, and recover from, surgery.
54% female employees
Our take
Founded in 2020, Surgery Hero works to help anyone on a health journey offering a digital clinic that helps people, from their homes, prepare for and recover from surgery.
The company’s app provides programmes that are unique to the individual in question, tailored according to their personal risk factors. This technological support is coupled with a human health coach who ensures the knowledge acquired from the programme is effectively turned into action.
Already, Surgery Hero is commissioned by 10% of Integrated Care Systems in the UK and is committed to provide over 8,000 programmes for people soon to undergo surgery. It is well positioned to see further growth following seed funding, which is being invested into scaling the service through applying machine learning whilst penetrating the U.S market.

Working for a "tech-for-good" organisation is something that is really important to me. Knowing we are making a positive impact on people's lives is amazing, especially when hearing the stories from members. And surgery is something that affects millions of people each year.

The work we are a part of is transforming the surgical landscape, it feels very motivating to be a part of that. There is a massive challenge with long wiating lists for elective surgery in the NHS and I feel really proud to be part of something supporting those waiting - to wait well.

Our product is one of a kind. We are the only perioperative solution in the UK to have human care embedded into our technology. No other business has real life human health coaches. This really brings the personal element to our members.
