About
Graphnet Health is a specialist healthcare data and technology company serving the UK's NHS with integrated population health, shared care, and remote monitoring solutions. Their flagship offering, CIPHA (Combined Intelligence for Population Health Action), unifies population health analytics, clinical workflow, shared care records, patient-facing apps, and remote patient monitoring into one cohesive platform. Graphnet's population health tools enable NHS organisations to identify and segment patient cohorts, perform risk stratification, support elective recovery, and conduct case finding and intervention analysis. The shared care record module supports over 20 million patients, breaking down information silos across acute trusts, primary care, social care, mental health, and community providers. Remote monitoring and virtual ward capabilities allow clinicians to oversee patient health from home, reducing emergency hospital admissions. Dedicated care planning modules support specialised clinical pathways including end-of-life (ReSPECT), heart failure, frailty management, pregnancy monitoring, and learning disability registers. Patient-facing apps and personal health records give individuals access to their own care data and plans, fostering engagement and self-management. Documented outcomes include a neighbourhood care model that reduced A&E attendances by up to 48% and a clinical trial that cut emergency hospital visits by nearly 70%. Graphnet serves ICSs, ICBs, acute trusts, primary care networks, social care, mental health, and community providers across the UK.
