London-based Scan.com, a healthcare referral and digital platform for booking and receiving medical scan results (such as MRI or CT), announced that it has raised $12M in a Series A round of funding.
The round was co-led by Aviva Ventures, YZR Capital, Oxford Capital, Triple Point Ventures, and Simplyhealth Ventures, with participation from Forefront Venture Partners.
In 2017, Dr. Khalid Latief, Mark Nissim, Charlie Bullock, Oliver Knight, and Joe Daniels of the UK founded and launched Scan.com, an online referral service that links people to trustworthy scan centers around them.
Scan.com aims to make medical imaging available to everyone. It provides an appointment booking engine for patients, a gateway for referring doctors, and an API for digital health partners across the UK and the US.
The company is poised to be the worldwide interface for diagnostic imaging, providing imaging to patients and providers from a single source.
It claims to simplify imaging from start to finish, lowering waiting times and increasing patient care outcomes with findings sent in as little as a week.
The company raised $2M in a Seed round in 2021 co-led by Oxford Capital and YZR and supported by angel investors such as Tom Blomfield and Evelyn Bourke (ex-BUPA).
The company claims that its team has grown to 30 people throughout the UK and the US, thanks to a second $2.2M extension led by Triple Point Ventures in 2022.
Scan.com says it will use the funds to scale its US operations and develop bespoke products for UK insurers, accelerating healthcare referral processes to deliver life-saving imaging access and quicker results for patients.
In the US, the company will expand into five additional US states and secure enterprise contracts with payers and digital health platforms.
