Huma (previously Medopad Ltd) is a British healthcare technology company based in London, UK. It also has offices in Shanghai, California, and New York.[1] It produces applications that integrate health data from existing hospital databases as well as patient wearables and other mobile devices and securely transmits it for use by doctors.[2][3]

Company

In April 2020, Medopad (as it was previously known) rebranded as Huma after acquiring BioBeats and Tarilian Laser Technologies, both British healthtech companies. The company's focus shifted from remote monitoring of patients with rare and chronic diseases towards gathering bio data for the purpose of preventative healthcare.[4]

Products

Enterprise

Medopad allows hospitals to pool their patient data into a single platform so it can be served to doctors' mobile devices in real-time.[5][6] Healthcare professionals can securely access lab results, images, clinical notes, and primary care data via iPads and other mobile devices.[7] In November 2013, Medopad became the first enterprise-class mobile health information system to receive CE approval.[8]

Some of the clinical applications that Medopad include editing patient records by voice recognition or typing, scheduling, lab results, image viewing including X-rays and CT scans, electronic support documents, taking and sending photos, video conferencing, primary records, transmitting real-time vital signs, collecting and managing demographic and contact details, Apple HealthKit integration, and arbitrage system to sort and prioritise patients, hospital admission, and access to more third party applications integrated into Medopad through the Clinical App Store.[2]

Medopad's pricing structure takes the form of an annual software as a service license fee in the UK.[9] In June 2014, it was reported that Medopad would cost hospitals between £50 and £90 per month per user to license. Carl Reynolds, head of Open Health Care UK told New Scientist that an open system that worked on multiple devices would be preferential to Medopad, as it would avoid locking hospitals into a single system.[2]

In January 2018, Medopad joined UK Prime Minister Theresa May on her trade mission[10] to China meeting President Xi. During the trip it announced over £100m of commercial contracts[11] with major Chinese and international organisations including China Resources and Peking University.

Cancer

In April 2015, Medopad launched a chemotherapy application for monitoring cancer patients designed specifically for the Apple Watch.[12][13][14][15]

Investors

Some of Medopad's institutional investors are Healthbox and Sandbox Industries.[16][17] Lord Howard Flight and Tony Brown, Non-Executive Director of the NHS both invested individually.[18]
