From AI pilots to patient capacity.
For NHS trusts, integrated care boards, care providers and healthtech suppliers.
AX helps healthcare organisations turn AI from pilots into productivity, designing, building and integrating systems they own.
Most health systems already have AI tools. The harder part is making the time they save reach patients, carrying information across the boundaries between organisations, and spreading what works. That is the work we do.
The challenges we work on
Each starts with a problem healthcare leaders already recognise, and ends with something built and in use.
Time saved that isn’t becoming capacity
AI tools are saving staff time, but the saving rarely reaches patients or budgets.
Released time converted into measurable capacity: more clinic slots, lower bank spend or protected staff time, chosen by design.
A Diagnostic Lab maps where time is saved and where it leaks. We then redesign one service’s templates and workflows and build the measurement from rostering, activity and EPR data.
Read: Time released is not cash releasedPatient flow and the social care boundary
Delayed discharges and avoidable admissions start where health and social care hand over.
Fewer days lost at one boundary, with care teams, carers and hospital staff working from the same information.
We map the handover with every party, then build tools on NHS login that carry the right information across it, integrated with the record and the NHS App where it adds value.
Read: The care system needs a front door tooPilots that spread
Successful pilots rarely spread, because every organisation starts again from scratch.
A pilot the next service, trust or system can adopt without repeating the work.
We design pilots to be copied from day one: safety case, integration specification, training and benefits method packaged with the build.
Read: The NHS does not lack AI. It lacks spread.Local data and integration
Data infrastructure choices made now will shape a health system’s options for a decade.
An integration and analytics layer the organisation controls, working alongside national platforms.
We design and build modular, standards-based data and integration layers. You own the data, the models and the code.
Read: Local data, local controlAdministrative backlogs
Validation, coding and correspondence absorb staff time that could reach patients.
Backlogs cleared, with administrative teams redeployed to higher-value work.
We build administrative AI connected to your patient administration system, EPR and finance systems, designed with the teams who do the work.

National frameworks and registries are changing how suppliers reach NHS buyers.
A product that meets NHS login, NHS App integration and assurance requirements, with NHS-setting evidence.
We run a readiness review, then build the integration and evidence plan so your product fits the systems trusts already use.
Read: Build around the App, not against itHow we work in health
The same pathway we use everywhere, with clinical safety and information governance built in from the first week.
A Diagnostic Lab on one scoped problem: what’s working, where AI adds value, and where the risks sit.
Architecture and roadmap for your workflows, data and AI agents, fully documented.
Production systems integrated with your EPR, cloud, data infrastructure and current LLM provider, then handed over to run yourselves.
We work alongside your clinical safety officer and information governance leads from the start, so safety cases, data protection and audit trails are part of the design rather than added at the end. You own the data, the models and the code.
Capability
Patient-engagement platform for a growing US medical practice
Delivered by the AX engineering team: digital intake, online scheduling, video consultations and real-time integration with the practice’s medical record systems, built to US HIPAA requirements.
This work was delivered in the US. In UK healthcare we bring the same build capability, applied to NHS standards for clinical safety, data protection and interoperability.
The team has also built natural-language data workspaces deployed with public-sector pilot clients. Client names are withheld.
Reduction in manual admin time in year one.
Confirmed client resultFrom Open Water
Our publication for executives building with AI. Two-minute reads on the decisions that determine whether AI reaches patients.
Why successful pilots stall, and how to design one the next trust can adopt.
Where the cost of the social care gap shows up, and why the handover is the place to start.
AI is saving NHS staff time. Turning it into patient capacity is a decision.
