By Emma Lewis,

There is a simple question that says a lot about how accessible a business really is, and it has nothing to do with your website, your branding or how many followers you have on social media.

It’s this: if someone wanted to become your customer at 7pm tonight, could they?

Not because they’re in an emergency or because they expect you to be working late, but because that’s when they finally have the time. After a full day at work, the school run, dinner and everything else life throws at them, the evening is often the first chance people get to deal with the jobs they’ve been putting off. They remember they need to book the dentist, find a solicitor, arrange a quote for a new boiler or speak to an accountant before the weekend.

When that moment arrives, they’re not casually browsing. They’ve decided to do something about it.

Ìý

The Hidden Cost Of After-Hours Enquiries

Ìý

For a long time, businesses haven’t really questioned what happens next. If the office is closed, the phone rings out or goes to voicemail. The assumption has always been that anyone who is genuinely interested will simply call back tomorrow.

The trouble is, tomorrow has a habit of getting in the way. The person who was ready to book last night is back in meetings by 9am. They forget. They get distracted. They search again during their lunch break and call somebody else who happens to answer. Sometimes they never make another enquiry at all.

It’s easy to underestimate what an after-hours call actually represents. By the time someone has searched for your business, looked through your website and picked up the phone, they’ve already invested time. They’re much further along the decision-making process than someone scrolling through adverts or comparing options for the first time. In many cases, they’re looking for reassurance rather than persuasion.

That’s why evening enquiries are often some of the strongest leads a business receives. They come from people who have already decided they need help and are looking for someone who can make the next step easy.

Ìý

Customer Expectations Have Changed

Ìý

Customer behaviour has changed a lot over the last decade. We don’t think twice about ordering groceries late in the evening, booking holidays on a Sunday afternoon or managing our banking from the sofa. We’ve become used to doing things when they fit around our lives instead of arranging our lives around opening hours. The problem is, service businesses haven’t always kept pace with that shift.

Nobody expects a receptionist to work into the evening, and no business owner should feel they have to answer every call personally. The issue is about making sure customers don’t reach a dead end when they’re finally ready to get in touch.

How AI Receptionists Keep Businesses Available

Ìý

This is where AI is starting to make a genuine difference, not because it replaces people, but because it fills the gap between when customers want to act and when businesses are available.

An AI receptionist can answer questions, collect information and book appointments while the business owner is having dinner, spending time with family or simply enjoying a well-earned evening off.

For the customer, it feels like progress instead of delay. They don’t have to remember to call back tomorrow because they’ve already taken the next step. For the business, it means opportunities aren’t quietly slipping away overnight without anyone even realising.

Ìý

Is Your Business Ready For The 7pm Test?

Ìý

The businesses that grow over the next few years probably won’t do so because they’re using the newest technology for the sake of it. They’ll grow because they’re removing small points of friction that have existed for years but were easy to ignore. A missed call at 7pm doesn’t feel like a major problem until you realise how many potential customers never come back.

So perhaps every business should ask itself the same question. If someone decided tonight that they wanted to work with you, would they be able to do something meaningful, or would they simply be asked to call again tomorrow?

The answer might reveal more about your customer experience than any online review ever could.

About MEDvidi

Ìý

MEDvidi emerged from traditional offline clinics in San Francisco and Miami in 2019, transitioning to a custom telehealth platform in 2020. Co-founders Vasili Razhnou and Alex Kulitski combined healthcare operations and technology expertise to build a platform that connects patients with licensed therapists and prescribing clinicians in one coordinated care model – making high-quality, affordable mental health care accessible across the US for ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

The biggest problem in healthcare today is provider capacity. Millions of Americans cannot access mental health care. The reason is that psychiatrists are fully booked with routine follow-up visits and administrative tasks, leaving no capacity for new patients. MEDvidi built its AI directly around that bottleneck. The AI Chart Generator transcribes visits in real time, updating documentation every 60 seconds and cutting charting time by 10x.

The AI Chart Reviewer monitors 100 percent of clinical encounters for protocol adherence, reducing review time by 80 percent while handling ID verification, drug-seeking detection, and guideline compliance. An AI Receptionist manages rescheduling, gathers prescription-related updates from patients, and feeds everything back into clinical workflows. By removing that friction, MEDvidi enables clinicians to see up to 10 times more patients.

Unlike other AI health tools trained on non-specific medical data, MEDvidi AI is trained on 130,000 real psychiatric visits. It is purpose-built for psychiatric workflows, regulations, and controlled-substance requirements. It works as a clinical verification layer, grounded in evidence-based guidelines and a proprietary dataset of real historical visits, ensuring every prescription aligns with standards and providing regulators with transparent oversight. The AI does not make independent decisions. The view at MEDvidi is blunt: AI in medicine should solve bottlenecks in doctors’ workflows and make clinicians more capable, not replace them.

About Diadia HealthÌý

Ìý

Diadia Health is a diagnostic reasoning platform built for clinicians who want AI they can verify, not just trust. Every AI tool that touches patient care makes claims. Diadia is the platform built to prove them: every clinical claim it generates is sorted into one of three tiers, Supported by Science, Plausible, or Unsupported, so clinicians see exactly why the AI reached its conclusion, not only what it concluded.

Diadia was founded in 2023 by Elena Ikonomovska, PhD, and Andrii Yasinetsky to solve a problem the two of them saw across precision, functional, and longevity medicine. Elena spent over 20 years in applied AI and machine learning. Andrii spent his career building production AI systems and agent infrastructure, including roles at Uber and Google. Together they set out to give clinicians an AI tool built specifically for how they practice, one they could verify rather than simply trust.

Clinicians are drowning in multi-omic data, labs, metabolic panels, genetics, and gut health among others, with no way to read it all as one connected picture. Diadia analyzes that data as a single biological system rather than a set of disconnected reports, surfacing root cause relationships that would not appear if each test were read on its own. Every medical claim the platform generates is checked against a reasoning graph built on more than 310,000 peer-reviewed papers and over 700,000 genetic variants, then classified through that three-tier verdict system before it ever reaches a clinician.

The hardest problem Elena and Andrii had to solve was not building an AI that sounded confident. It was building one that could show its work. In an independent study, Diadia tested 3,035 medical claims across 36 patients against four leading AI models. The models agreed with each other no better than random chance on identical patient data, a cross-model Fleiss kappa of negative 0.045, the exact bottleneck Diadia was built to close. Diadia classified 67.1 percent of its own claims as Supported by Science, 30.2 percent as Plausible, and 2.7 percent as Unsupported, giving clinicians a transparent, auditable answer instead of a black box.

The platform now runs end-to-end around the patient visit, covering pre-visit diagnostic prep, in-visit multi-omic analysis, and post-visit branded patient materials, all trained on the clinical style of each individual clinician. Clinics using Diadia have cut chart review time for complex cases down substantially, based on Diadia internal modeling, freeing clinicians to see more patients without adding staff or sacrificing the personalization their patients pay for.

Since launch, Diadia has been recognized twice by 91̽»¨ alone, Top 50 Women in Startups and Tech and AITech45, plus wins from Femtech World and 100 Women in AI, building a track record of independent validation to match its own verification approach.

Diadia is not trying to replace clinical judgment. It is focused on making that judgment easier to trust, easier to scale, and easier to prove.

About Withings Health Solutions

Ìý

Withings Health Solutions is the dedicated B2B division of Withings, a pioneer in connected health technology since 2008 ,with millions of users across more than 30 countries today. The organisation provides medical grade, clinically validated smart devices designed for remote patient monitoring, chronic disease management, and clinical research, with over 1 million patients monitored to date. The goal is to build a continuous bridge between individuals and their healthcare providers.

The journey began when the parent company introduced the first-ever connected scale in 2009, followed by continuous advancements in medical wearables, blood pressure monitors, sleep trackers, and non-invasive home health labs. The primary challenge addressed over the years involves shifting the healthcare system from a reactive model to a proactive, preventive approach.

Ensuring medical validation and clearing regulatory benchmarks such as FDA approval and CE marks across various global regions requires strict compliance and continuous investment. Additionally, the company overcame infrastructure demands by developing cellular connected tools that work out of the box, eliminating the need for complex user setup or smartphone dependencies for elderly or vulnerable patient groups.

The impact on the healthtech landscape has been substantial. By offering beautifully designed tools that patients actually want to use daily, the team achieves high retention and compliance rates. This continuous stream of real world data allows clinicians to monitor conditions like hypertension, heart failure, and diabetes seamlessly.

Instead of relying on sporadic in clinic readings, care teams receive precise, regular insights to catch health issues early, adjust treatment plans, and reduce emergency room visits. The solutions empower medical institutions, payers, and research bodies to deploy scalable, efficient care programs that save costs and improve life outcomes globally.

About Innowise

Ìý

Innowise is an international IT consulting and software development company that builds production grade technology solutions for industries such as healthcare, fintech, manufacturing, logistics, retail and telecommunications.

Founded in 2007 by three engineers, the company has grown over nearly two decades from a small team into a global organisation headquartered in Warsaw with offices across Europe, North America, the UAE and the UK. Today more than 3500 IT professionals deliver end to end services including custom software development, cloud architecture, AI and machine learning, data engineering, cybersecurity, DevOps, UX and UI design, IT staff augmentation and enterprise automation, with over 1600 projects successfully delivered for Fortune 500 enterprises, fast scaling mid market companies and ambitious startups.

One of the biggest challenges in our sector is bridging strategy and delivery. Many providers can talk about digital transformation, but fewer can design, build and ship solutions that are genuinely operational in a hospital, clinic or health organisation. Innowise has built its reputation on finishing what we start. We focus on turning complex requirements into live systems, managing scope, timelines and communication in a way that respects the clients time and investment. Daily reporting, transparent project management and open communication are not just process points. They are how we keep trust when projects span multiple teams and geographies.

Another challenge has been growing without losing quality. Innowise has never taken outside funding, been acquired or merged its way to scale. Every office, certification and hire has come from client work and long term partnerships. The company now holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018 and ISO 13485 certifications, alongside specialist credentials across major cloud and enterprise platforms. This combination of scale, certified quality and sector specific depth is what enables us to support complex healthtech and medtech engagements.

Our impact in HealthTech comes from treating healthcare as one of our core specialities within custom software development. We design and build healthcare software and platforms that help providers improve patient journeys, care coordination and clinical decision making, with a particular focus on making AI useful in practice. That includes bringing agentic AI into production environments where reliability, security and integration with real workflows are non negotiable. In parallel, we support sustainability and data initiatives, IoT, AR and VR and other technologies where healthcare organisations can gain an advantage.

Over the past twelve months our greatest achievements have reinforced this trajectory. We were named Overall Peer to Peer Lending Platform of the Year at the 2026 FinTech Breakthrough Awards, included in CRNs Solution Provider 500 and recognised in the Global 100, while continuing to open new offices and deepen long term client relationships. For us, growth is not just about numbers. It is about being a long term technology partner for organisations, including those in the HealthTech space, that rely on software to deliver better outcomes for patients and professionals.

About The Weight Care Clinic

Ìý

I founded The Weight Care Clinic in 2026 because I wanted to change the way obesity and metabolic health are treated. As a doctor, I saw too many patients being offered either medication alone or generic lifestyle advice, without the long term support needed to create lasting change. I believed there had to be a better way.

I built a doctor led, CQC registered clinic that combines evidence based medicine with nutrition, behaviour change and personalised care. Every patient receives an individual treatment plan because no two people, or their health journeys, are the same.

Building the business has not been easy. I launched the clinic while training in the NHS, becoming a new mum and navigating the challenges of growing a healthcare startup. Securing funding, building a regulated service and earning patient trust has required resilience, but it has also strengthened my determination to improve healthcare.

Technology has allowed us to deliver high quality, accessible care across the UK through virtual consultations and digital patient pathways, making expert medical support available regardless of location. We are now expanding into preventative healthcare, private GP services and our RESET Series, which combines medical expertise with education and lifestyle medicine to help people improve their health before disease develops.

Alongside caring for patients, I am passionate about public education. Through national television, radio, newspapers and magazines, I regularly speak about obesity, GLP 1 medications, womens health, menopause and preventative medicine. My goal is to tackle misinformation, reduce stigma and ensure people have access to trustworthy medical advice.

My vision is to build one of the UK leading health technology companies for preventative and metabolic healthcare, combining innovation with compassionate, evidence based medicine. I believe technology should enhance healthcare, not replace the human connection, and I want to make high quality personalised care accessible to more people across the UK.

About Vindicara

Ìý

Vindicara started in early 2026 after I spent more than 15 years trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I saw doctor after doctor and was told my pain was normal, IBS, anxiety, or something else. When I finally had excision surgery, they found 73 endometriosis lesions throughout my body. That changed my life, but it also made me realise something. The biggest problem was not that doctors did not care. It was that they did not have the right tools to connect all of the symptoms and catch endometriosis sooner.

That is why I started Vindicara.

Vindicara is a clinical decision support platform that helps healthcare providers spot patients who may have endometriosis much earlier. Instead of looking at one symptom, Vindicara looks at the full picture, including symptoms, medical history, imaging, lab work, medications, and diagnoses. It helps providers recognise patterns that are easy to miss so patients can get the right testing and the right referrals sooner.

Starting a HealthTech company has not been easy. I have been building Vindicara while also leading a national nonprofit that helps women pay for endometriosis surgery and working on health policy to improve care across the country. I have also been dealing with my own recurring endometriosis and preparing for another surgery. Every dollar has been carefully invested because I have chosen to self fund the company as long as possible while building the right product.

Even though Vindicara is still in its early stages, we have already built relationships with leading endometriosis surgeons, researchers, policy leaders, and healthcare organisations. We are working toward electronic health record integration and preparing for pilot programs with healthcare systems and physician practices. We are building the platform with doctors, not just for them, so it fits into the way they already work.

While we are starting with endometriosis, the vision is much bigger. The same technology can help find other diseases that are often missed or take years to diagnose, including adenomyosis, Ehlers Danlos syndrome, POTS, and MCAS.

At the end of the day, Vindicara is about making sure patients get answers sooner. No one should have to spend 10, 15, or 20 years looking for a diagnosis like I did. If we can help doctors connect the dots earlier, we can help patients get treated sooner, avoid years of suffering, and improve lives.
