Ruby On Rails Developer, Healios

The way that care is delivered to patients is outdated and inefficient. The company's purpose is to provide better care, faster and cheaper. It achieves this as its platform digitises the clinical pathway, enabling children, adults, and their family members to use clinical services at home. This also allows the company to create detailed reports about a patient's condition and KPIs for measuring condition improvements.

Launched in 2013, Healios has now worked with 65% of NHS Mental Health Trusts, with 70,000 specialized clinical sessions delivered, which is a high success rate for a startup considering how hard it is to get NHS approval.

Unlike some startups in the area of mental health, Healios is not a marketplace of advisers but is an end-to-end provider of these services, which means it already has a leg-up on its competitors in the market.
