“Sector-leading” London based healthtech SME acquired by international player

DNV, the global quality assurance and risk management provider, has acquired MBI Healthcare Technologies, a London based healthcare data assurance company.

The acquisition forms part of DNV’s strategic expansion into the digital health market. MBI Healthcare Technologies supplies healthcare providers with artificial intelligence-backed technology and data quality expertise to reduce patient safety risks, deliver care more efficiently and bring down waiting times for elective treatment.

The company tackles the growing challenge of patient data being imprecisely recorded in electronic health record systems. MBI Healthcare Technologies gives healthcare providers an accurate and quality-assured overview of who is waiting for treatment, when, and where.

The company’s LUNA platform generates complete oversight of an organisation’s elective care performance. It visualises the status of individual patient journeys through their care pathway, and rapidly scans clinical documents to uncover inaccuracies about patients’ status in their treatment.

The company also deploys expertise and capacity to cleanse large batches of inaccurate patient data in electronic health record systems and reduce large booking backlogs. MBI Healthcare Technologies’ team of advisors provide strategic advice on elective care performance, recovery planning, organisational change, and technology implementation.

Remi Eriksen, group president and CEO of DNV, commented: “DNV’s investment in MBI Healthcare Technologies aims to accelerate data quality improvements in the healthcare sector.

“MBI Healthcare Technologies has developed sector-leading services and with their artificial intelligence-powered solution we will make a significant impact on the digital transformation of the healthcare system. With this investment we will further enhance DNV’s strength in providing trust and assurance to the healthcare sector.”

By joining forces, DNV and MBI Healthcare Technologies will work to rapidly scale the company’s solutions in the UK, target growth in international markets, and bring new data assurance technologies to the healthcare sector.

Barry Mulholland, founding partner, MBI Healthcare Technologies, added: “We are delighted to partner with DNV, a renowned assurance provider in multiple safety-critical industries including healthcare.

“MBI Healthcare Technologies’ thought-leading position in elective care performance, combined with DNV’s reputation, international infrastructure, and digital assurance expertise, is a recipe for making a much greater impact on healthcare systems in the UK and abroad.”
