Huma

Remote patient monitoring platform

Remote monitoring & telehealthPatient access & engagement

Digital health platform for remote patient monitoring, virtual wards and decentralised clinical trials, backed by AstraZeneca and Bayer.

The read

Huma runs a cloud platform for remote patient monitoring, hospital-at-home and virtual wards, and decentralised clinical trials, used by pharma companies, hospitals and governments. Backed by AstraZeneca and Bayer's venture arms, it has grown partly by acquisition, most notably absorbing the NHS triage platform eConsult Health in October 2024.

Its diabetes management programme, GDm-Health, is live in 64-plus NHS trusts, and the company has positioned itself as an end-to-end digital health infrastructure provider spanning triage through to remote monitoring.

The Bridgehead view

Huma's acquisition of eConsult turns two separate categories, patient triage and remote monitoring, into one platform story; the integration challenge is proving those parts work as a single system rather than a portfolio of separately-branded products.
