LONDON, UK. [26] January 2025 – A new tool, SimpleAI, has been launched today by UK-based healthcare platform MeditSimple, designed to make private healthcare more accessible and transparent for patients, while alleviating pressure on NHS waitlists.
With SimpleAI, patients can confidently explore affordable private healthcare options, avoid unnecessary appointments, and make well-informed decisions about their health.
As millions across the UK face long NHS waiting times, many people are being pushed to consider private healthcare, particularly in light of the Government’s recent partnership with the independent sector. However, navigating private healthcare options can feel overwhelming, with challenges like unclear pricing, repeated tests, and unnecessary referrals.
MeditSimple’s CEO, Laurence Lévy, knows this struggle personally as she shares: “When I moved to the UK and turned to private healthcare I found myself lost in the system, booking unnecessary appointments and spending more time and money than I needed. I realised many other people faced the same challenges. After experiencing this for over two years, I set out to find a way to solve this problem. SimpleAI is the result.”
MeditSimple already hosts over 8,000 of the top-rated specialists across all fields on its digital platform, with options to book in-person and virtual appointments, at-home medical care, as well as diagnostic services like tests and scans. The new tool, SimpleAI, now makes it even easier to navigate the platform – taking you from your symptoms to booking with the most appropriate doctor or healthcare service based on medical relevance and your preferences.
What’s unique about MeditSimple is that it helps patients find doctors and services, compare options, and access transparent pricing before booking. At the heart of MeditSimple is a commitment not to be tied to any specific providers so that recommendations for care are solely based on patients’ needs, uninfluenced by partnerships or commission.
MeditSimple has also negotiated cheaper prices for a selection of diagnostic services for patients who are not insured. By making private healthcare more accessible and understandable, MeditSimple hopes to reduce strain on the NHS by offering a more accessible alternative for those seeking faster treatment.
There is much excitement surrounding the use of AI in healthcare. However, MeditSimple’s technology has been designed not to replace the vital role of our skilled medical workforce. Instead, SimpleAI more efficiently connects patients to the right human experts for their unique health needs, just focussing on cutting out the extended delays and inefficiencies.
