Dr Hugo Stephenson, Joint CEO of Induction, said:

“We have made excellent progress since our IPO over a year ago. This was a transformational year for us as we embarked on the journey of buy and build while delivering critical tools that healthcare professionals continue to rely on during the COVID-19 crisis.

“In under a year we have become one of the leading players in the UK healthcare IT market, with the majority of NHS hospital doctors, the majority of NHS Trusts, and a market leading number of patients choosing to use our products so people get better care.

“This success is testament to the efficiency and quality of our technology, as well as demonstrating the value of solutions designed specifically for healthcare, especially during a global pandemic when the demand for delivering the right resources to the right places at the right time is at an all-time high.”

James Balmain, Joint CEO of Induction, said:

“By combining Zesty’s patient facing platforms with the existing large user base of health professionals on the Induction platforms has created one of the most compelling digital offerings in the UK health IT market. Our increased reach and scale are already accelerating our partnerships with large health IT vendors and I’m particularly encouraged by signs of growth in our future recurring revenue.”
