NEWS Partnership to scale up ‘hospitals at home’
Atos and Huma have announced a five-year strategic global partnership to shift healthcare and clinical trials from hospital to home. The partnership will focus on Huma’s modular platform which can power digital ‘hospitals at home’ up to national scale, as well as support pharmaceutical and research industries to run complex global decentralised clinical trials. The platform is already used in the US and across Europe for illnesses ranging from atrial fibrillation to diabetes to COVID-19.
Atos will use its experience in implementing and scaling complex transformation projects to accelerate adoption of Huma’s technology. Significant investment in R&D will fast-track the integration of the Huma platform with other leading clinical platforms, as well as the development of a dedicated video module.
The immense pressure exerted by the COVID-19 pandemic on the world’s healthcare systems exposed the weaknesses of current models already overstretched with ageing populations and the rising global incidence of chronic conditions. Innovation is needed to improve both patient care and the overall efficiency of the care chain. Atos and Huma’s approach means patients are monitored outside of hospital and given timely, proactive clinical intervention ahead of need, ultimately optimising the use of resources, improving patient outcomes and reducing long-term healthcare costs.
Early stage evidence has shown Huma’s service, which has already been operating nationally across Germany, England and the UAE, can almost
Robotic investment to reduce waiting times
An investment of around £20 million in 10 surgical robots will result in less invasive procedures and boost hospital capacity across Scotland. The Robotic-Assisted Surgery systems, procured by National Services Scotland (NSS), will be used primarily for cancer treatment, including urological, colorectal and gynaecological operations.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf said:
“The remobilisation of the NHS is one of our most urgent priorities, and we will be publishing a national recovery plan
for the NHS soon. This new technology will transform the experience of surgery for hundreds of patients every year, while easing the pressure on surgeons with shorter procedures that are less physically demanding to carry out. They will also reduce waiting times and provide us with regular data so we can continue to improve our health service.”
The surgical robots will be based in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Lothian, NHS Tayside, NHS Grampian, NHS Fife, NHS Golden Jubilee and NHS Highland.

double hospital capacity. Robert Vassoyan, head of health & life sciences business, Atos, said: “We are very excited about this partnership, as we are convinced that Atos and Huma can drive a systemic shift from reactive to proactive models of care.” Dan Vahdat, CEO and founder of Huma, said: “This partnership takes us to a new league – we have already shown that we can create a service for a new disease area in a matter of weeks, as we did during the pandemic, and that we can go live with over 100 clinics in a day. “Atos will supercharge our work so we can offer services at scale, anywhere in the world across delivery of care and pharma collaborations leading to more people living longer, fuller lives.”
