Answer Digital acquires new firm

Answer Digital has acquired Interneuron, a Cambridge-based provider of digital healthcare systems. This move brings Interneuron’s software expertise, notably its Open Modular Care Record system for various patient care settings, into Answer Digital’s portfolio.

Answer Digital, a Leeds-based, employee-owned consultancy, already collaborates extensively with the NHS on projects from AI deployment to GP interoperability and offers private sector services in data, software engineering, AI, and cloud computing. The acquisition aims to enhance Answer’s product capabilities while retaining all current roles.

Richard Pugmire, chief executive at Answer, said: “Bringing the two teams together will enable Interneuron to expand rapidly, by allowing them to focus on product development, with support for EPR implementation, data and integration services from Answer.

“Answer’s AI toolkit and award-winning AI implementation best practices will enhance Interneuron’s cutting-edge product suite and drive significant growth potential. Answer, perhaps best known for incubating products and start-up ideas, now has a dedicated long-term product unit, which will enable us to deliver innovative, scalable solutions across all sectors.”

Joel Ratnasothy, chief executive at Interneuron, added: “We are thrilled to join an employee-owned company that shares a commitment to its values and people. Bringing our teams together will have an incredible impact on our current and future customers. It’s clear that our companies share a passion for reforming healthcare services through digital transformation and the power this can have to drive efficiency and improve outcomes for all stakeholders.

“The openMCR platform is a truly open modular care record that has been designed and built from the ground up to give our customers the most control of their data, at a time when data has become the key to  genuinely achieving healthcare service transformation.”
