London’s fast-growing digital healthcare startup, delivering virtual primary care, was constrained by manual intake processes. Clinicians were spending valuable time gathering routine information. We initially partnered for Idea & Validation and Product Design Sprint workshops to build and deploy an AI-enabled triage MVP. It streamlined patient onboarding and improved clinical readiness.

planet-sec-title-arrow Problem Statement

  • Clinicians were burdened with administrative intake before consultations.
  • Patients encountered lengthy forms and repeated symptom reporting.
  • Appointment capacity was not optimised due to a lack of structured triage.
  • The platform required a secure and compliant AI-supported intake framework.

planet-sec-title-arrow Challenges

  • Patients described symptoms in varied, unstructured formats, which limited the ability to apply consistent triage rules and delayed consultation preparation.
  • Clinical staff were balancing administrative intake responsibilities alongside medical duties, creating inefficiencies in appointment readiness.
  • Urgent cases were not always clearly identified during booking, affecting scheduling optimisation and overall slot utilisation.
  • Any AI-enabled workflow had to align with stringent data protection and healthcare compliance standards to ensure patient trust and security.

planet-sec-title-arrow Solution

  • We initiated idea & validation sessions to analyse intake inefficiencies and understand how the administrative burden was affecting clinician time and patient flow.
  • Through a focused product design sprint, we designed a structured AI-supported triage pathway that followed clinical logic while maintaining strict data protection standards.
  • Using interactive prototyping, we simulated patient journeys to validate symptom capture accuracy, prioritisation rules, and usability before scaling the build.
  • The MVP development phase delivered a conversational AI assistant that standardised free-text symptom inputs into structured summaries aligned with medical guidance.
  • With seamless AI integration, triage summaries were embedded directly into the clinician dashboard, improving consultation preparedness without introducing new tools.
  • The platform was deployed within a secure, compliant environment to ensure healthcare-grade data handling and long-term scalability.

planet-sec-title-arrow Result

Our partnership to build a scalable AI MVP spanned from early idea validation through MVP launch, translating vision into measurable impact.

  • 93% of patients completed the AI triage flow.
  • Intake became three times faster than the previous process.
  • Manual triage time dropped by 47%.
  • Doctor slot utilisation improved by 38%.

AI MVP improved patient onboarding & triage agent, automated queries, and structured patient data.

AI-driven insights & summaries improved efficiency in patient consulting without adding tools.

Reduced work overload by offloading admin queries to AI-driven customer support boosted operational efficiency.
