In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare technology, innovation is paramount. The latest spotlight shines on Envoke, a UK-based company revolutionizing how medical staff are trained to use laboratory equipment. With recent funding of £1 million from NPIF – Mercia Equity Finance and Finance Yorkshire’s Seedcorn Fund, Envoke is poised to reshape training in the medical sector. This funding comes as the company has demonstrated its capacity for growth, attracting leading manufacturers and enhancing its platform's capabilities.
Founded in 2019 by Stuart Warrington, Envoke emerged from a background in film and animation production.
. Originally intended for product demonstrations, it became clear that a greater need existed for a system focused on remote training and troubleshooting. Envoke's simulation software creates a virtual model for each machine, pioneering e-learning for medical devices. This innovative approach allows manufacturers to provide remote support, significantly cutting down on the need for physical site visits. With clients that include Bio-Rad, Waters Corporation, and the NHS, the platform is now utilized in labs worldwide, further underscoring the potential impact of this technology on staffing efficiency in healthcare.
The recent investment of £1 million will enable Envoke to enhance its system, boost marketing efforts, and expand its customer base in anticipation of a future Series A investment. As CEO Stuart Warrington notes, the platform holds the potential to significantly increase productivity, reducing warranty costs and minimizing machine downtime due to user error. With plans to create additional jobs and a track record of nearly doubling annual recurring revenue in just a year, Envoke exemplifies how focused investment and innovative solutions can transform the healthcare training landscape. With further support from entities like Finance Yorkshire and the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund, this dynamic company is set to lead the charge in healthcare technology advancement.
