About the Company

Abtrace

AI-powered primary care automation and monitoring

Abtrace provides an AI-powered platform that sits on top of NHS GP EHRs to move primary care from a reactive to a proactive model. It uses machine learning and natural language processing to analyze patient data, automatically identifying individuals due for monitoring, testing, or treatment, and it automatically recalls them by SMS and email. Clinicians view a single dashboard that shows a patient’s needs across multiple conditions, enabling care to be planned in one visit and reducing administrative workload while supporting antimicrobial stewardship. The goal is to save clinicians’ time, reduce repeat appointments, and improve the quality and safety of primary care through proactive chronic-disease management and population health analytics.
