Fantastic to be featured on the BBC and The Times today highlighting how automated, on-demand delivery drones are now transporting urgent blood samples for Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, using drones for good to improve staff productivity and patient experience. As the BBC said, "Drones certainly won't solve all the problems in the NHS but it could help create a higher level of performance”, and we’re so excited to be making this a reality. This partnership is the hard work, commitment and perseverance of partners at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, Wing, the Civil Aviation Authority, NATS and many more for making this a reality. https://lnkd.in/evwSZbf8

Today we announced a company milestone - our Series B fundraise! We welcome our new investors Lakestar, Optum Ventures, and Elaia and thank existing investors who participated in the round, General Catalyst, Bertelsmann Investments, and Speedinvest, for their continued support. Oliver Heimes will join the board. None of this is possible without our partners across the European healthcare system and the patients we serve. Doccla was founded to provide hospital-level care and support at home for multiple patient profiles across the acuity spectrum: enabling the early discharge of patients, as well as ensuring that for those with chronic care needs, hospital admission might be avoided in the first place. The funding will be used to further consolidate our market-leading position in the UK and Ireland (where we recently launched with the Health Service Executive), while looking to expand in France and the DACH region, and build upon our Pharma work.

At a Synnovis symposium today in the beautiful Grocers' Hall 🐫 hosted by visionary Chief Medical Officer Dominic Harrington. Fizzing with brilliance on the frontiers of modern science, pathology and medicine + showcasing diverse entrepreneurs and equitable R&D and applications. KHP Ventures portfolio star Apian are vibrantly represented by co-founder Hammad Jeilani updating on the revolutionary work they're doing to develop a medical drone delivery network for the NHS, working closely with Synnovis on a pilot between Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust hospital sites in early 2024. Better, faster, greener healthcare. “We are bringing on-demand delivery to healthcare,” says Alexander Trewby , chief executive of the drone company Apian , which was founded by two NHS doctors. “We think it’s wrong that a patient can get a pizza delivered to their bedside but it takes a couple of days to get their lab test turned around.”
