The company's vision is to enable the National Health Service and social services to make data-driven decisions about health and social care. SHREWD aims to achieve this by developing unique and versatile systems for capturing real-time information and sharing it across health and social care.
The startup focuses on addressing the challenge of data overload by co-designing solutions with providers and commissioners to ensure that the right data is collected and interpreted effectively. After eight years of research and development, SHREWD has honed its expertise in understanding what constitutes a great data set for each organization, whether it's an acute hospital, an ambulance service, GP surgery, or community provider.
In September 2017, SHREWD received a Seed Round investment from DigitalHealth.London Accelerator. The company's ongoing focus is on testing real-time escalation, predictive systems, and artificial intelligence to further enhance the value of the data it provides to healthcare organizations.
