Why now
Waits are at an all-time high
Pressure on radiology departments are at an all-time high. The NHS is still recovering from the COVID backlog, and there is a nation-wide drive to increase cancer screenings. This is combined with a deficit of over 2000 radiology consultants across the UK.
Why now
...And they’re set to get worse
In November 2022 it was announced GPs will gain direct access to imaging for critical scans. This is intended to improve patient outcomes but will flood radiology with more requests, increase the burden on the already overwhelmed system.
Our Plan
The Road to Serenity
The idea for Flute Medical was hatched in late 2022, by five Design Engineering students from Imperial College London, who envisioned a better future for public healthcare. We are only at the start of our journey and have a long way to go, but we have great support from our advisors, and a well defined plan to reach our goals.

Sales Strategy
We will sell using a ‘bottom-up’ approach, deploying Serenity one trust at a time, beginning with the locations where we are conducting our research.

Selling Savings
Serenity will be charged for on a subscription-for-features basis, where trusts will pay an annual access fee for the features they would like to use. The subscription fee is scaled based on predicted annual savings for each trust.
