Huma is an innovation partner to four national governments – England’s NHS, Wales, Germany and UAE – and its digital ‘hospital at home’ was co-created with clinicians and has been independently shown to almost double clinical capacity, reduce hospital readmissions by over a third and has patient adherence levels of over 90 per cent.
In 2021 Huma Therapeutics raised £92m to scale its modular platform for powering digital ‘hospitals at home’ nationally.
