WHY OTHERS FALL SHORT

  • Human Reception: Can't scale. 34% leave due to stress.
  • Telephony: No AI. Just more phone lines.
  • AI Start-ups: Unproven. No DTAC. No safety record.
  • Consultation Tools: 68% of patients prefer calling.

Only one solution was built from the ground up for NHS primary care.

Zero clinical incidents. 1 million+ patients. Class 1 Medical Device. That's EMMA.
