Salary benchmarks
Our take
Hippo Labs is a London-based tech startup helping GP practices operate more efficiently and effectively. They're currently focused on proactive care and aiming to improve outcomes for patients whilst reducing workload for practices.
Reactive care is the most well-known approach in healthcare, whereby patients only seek help for conditions after they’ve already developed into critical issues. Proactive care involves pre-emptive outbound care from a practice and an ongoing patient-provider conversation to ensure patients stay healthy and helps prevent life-threatening emergencies; Hippo Labs is building tech to help practices do more Proactive Care which will keep patients healthier for longer.
Hippo Labs has built its core technology and is currently live with over 400k patients. Its now looking to build a team, refine the product and build a dominant market position.
