Guess: Who is the world’s largest purchaser of fax machines?

… the NHS.
This astounding fact highlights the opportunity for even simple digital technology to revolutionise healthcare.
Our portfolio company Push Doctor is using (by today’s standards) relatively straightforward video chat technology to give patients on-demand access to a doctor.
Yet simple technology can have big impacts on healthcare outcomes for patients. In a world where waiting times to see a GP on the NHS are 13 days, being able to get medical advice and treatment almost instantly has huge benefits.
It is great to see this impact recognised by the Growth Investor Awards, who have shortlisted Push Doctor for Most Impactful Investment.
