What we do
Clinical infrastructure for synchronized care
Ellescope is a medical technology provider working with Integrated Care Boards, Primary Care Networks, midwifery clinics and other health care providers, to configure novel integrated perinatal care pathways so that every mother-to-be can receive the health care she needs.
We are looking to collaborate with health care providers and clinicians who are committed to the successful transformation of their maternity services. By partnering with us, we commit to making positive change a reality.
The story behind the solution
Ellescope was founded in 2023, inspired by frontline healthcare experience within one of the most deprived regions in the UK.
Our founder, Sandra, closely experienced the challenges that NHS staff face in identifying and caring for patients at risk of poor outcomes, more so in the vulnerable stages of bringing new life in the world.
Fueled by the cries of families and communities who are unjustifiably disadvantaged by limited interventions, Sandra set out to transform maternity information systems to lend a wide lens to every patient’s story while increasing productivity gains for clinicians.
By administering our solution in an early feasibility study conducted within NHS primary care and funded by NHS England’s SBRI Healthcare programme, we demonstrated a 62.5% improvement in all self-reported outcomes from antenatal patients.
Meet Us
We are a team of passionate engineers, scientists and practicing clinicians on a mission to close the data intelligence gap in maternity care through innovation that is equitable by design.
