Anima

Anima is a healthcare software company founded in 2021 that builds what it describes as a universal operating system for integrated care. The platform is designed to automate manual work, surface critical information and provide a single source of truth across care settings for healthcare teams. It combines online consultation with productivity tools covering front- and back-office workflows, and is used across primary care and integrated care systems in the United Kingdom.

The company's flagship product, also named Anima, powers more than 600 NHS practices in England, serving over 5 million patients and processing more than 400,000 requests per month. Two features sit within the platform: Annie, an AI scribe that supports clinicians with documentation, and Andi, an AI receptionist that automates front-office workflows. The company reports having halved document processing time.

Technical work spans AI and machine learning, clinical scribing, conversational AI, healthcare workflow automation, online consultation platforms, document processing automation and care coordination software. Anima was founded after its founders experienced healthcare delays and loss at first hand; Dr. Shun Pang, a founder, is a former NHS doctor. The stated focus is reducing clinician burden, eliminating manual work and preventing missed diagnoses and screenings.
