Using AI to give clinicians more time to care
An AI-driven clinical intelligence layer designed to save practitioners time and improve patient outcomes.
The Problem
Healthcare Access & Continuity Crisis
- Continuity of care reduces mortality by 25%
- Yet 36% of patients can't see their preferred GP when needed
- And 45% of urgent appointments involve waiting 24+ hours
- Symptom checkers misdiagnose over 60% of the time
Current AI Falls Short
LLMs are powerful but lack critical context:
- No access to full patient history
- Cannot examine, refer, or prescribe
- Lack governance, audit trails, or verification

From the Founder
Raef Akehurst
Founder & CEO
"PreConsult started with a simple observation: practitioners spend valuable consultation time gathering basic history that could be collected beforehand."
By using AI to have natural conversations with patients before appointments, we capture comprehensive, structured medical histories that arrive ready for the clinician to review. Every session creates SNOMED-coded data that's immediately usable in clinical workflows.
We're building the foundation for better-prepared consultations — giving practitioners more time for what matters: caring for patients.
