Babylon Health

AI-driven telemedicine platform for virtual care

Overview

Babylon Health provided digital health services by connecting patients with clinicians through mobile and web apps, using AI to support clinical operations. Its platform combines an AI symptom checker for initial triage with virtual consultations, prescription delivery, and proactive health monitoring, offered through subscriptions, pay-as-you-go models, and partnerships with insurers and employers. The company pursued large-scale digital primary care across many countries, integrating AI decision support with telemedicine and chronic care management, and worked on government contracts like the NHS GP at Hand program and other public-sector initiatives. Its goal is to make primary care more accessible and scalable by merging digital tools, AI diagnostics, and virtual visits to improve health outcomes and streamline care delivery.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • eMed’s 2026 news says it reached a $2 billion valuation after a $200 million Series A.
  • GP at Hand still serves about 100,000 registered NHS patients around London.
  • eMed kept Babylon’s telehealth and Bupa-linked services operating after the 2023 asset sale.

What critics are saying

  • Babylon’s U.S. Chapter 7 and UK administration in August 2023 proved model fragility.
  • The 2026 Springer study cites declining ratings and patient dissatisfaction after eMed takeover.
  • GP at Hand’s NHS funding model strained Birmingham operations; another service contraction remains likely.

What makes Babylon Health unique

  • GP at Hand remains England’s largest NHS practice, despite Babylon’s 2023 collapse.
  • eMed still runs Babylon-era digital primary care from London, preserving clinician workflows.
  • Babylon’s brand, contracts, and app infrastructure survive inside eMed Healthcare UK.

Hims & Hers appoints Garcha as UK and EMEA CMO.

Hims & Hers appoints Garcha as UK and EMEA CMO. 5th October 2026 Digital health provider Hims & Hers has appointed former Babylon Health clinical leader Dr Kultar Garcha as chief medical officer for the UK and EMEA as it continues to expand internationally. Garcha, who has15 years of experience as an NHS GP, will oversee clinical quality, patient safety and prescribing standards across the company's UK and European markets. He joins Hims & Hers' global medical leadership team, led by global chief medical officer Dr Pat Carroll, and brings more than 20 years' experience across public and private healthcare in the UK and internationally. His clinical work has included expanding perinatal mental healthcare for mothers and examining functional and behavioural health outcomes in perimenopause and menopause. He also sits on the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence's (NICE) Quality Standards Advisory Committee. Garcha's appointment forms part of Hims & Hers' expansion of its international medical leadership team. He joins Dr Sandy Van, chief medical officer of Canada, and Dr Matt Vickers, chief medical officer of Hims Australia. 'You can't build the right clinical strategy from the outside looking in. Dr Garcha and Dr Vickers bring nearly 30 years of combined experience in public healthcare systems, seeing patients regularly,' said Carroll. 'They know the regulatory landscape, but just as important, they know what it's actually like for a patient trying to get care in each of these systems. That's the kind of leadership we're investing in as we scale.' Garcha said: 'As a GP, my job has always been to look at the whole person, not just the problem in front of me. Hims & Hers takes that same instinct and gives it a deeper impact, bringing that kind of comprehensive care to patients broadly. 'I'm looking forward to making sure that kind of care reaches more people across the UK and Europe, regardless of where someone lives or how well they can navigate the traditional healthcare system.'
