We are Big Picture

Seven years in the making.

Big Picture was founded in 2014 by Dr. Tom McKinnon. Following a 15-year career in finance, Tom decided to train as a doctor, where he quickly recognised the significant role that smart technology, including artificial intelligence, could play in improving the levels of service and patient care across the healthcare system. Although Tom loved working as an emergency doctor, he was frustrated, knowing it could be done better.

Since then, it has been Big Picture's mission to transform patient care globally using the power of technology.

The problem.

The patient journey has changed organically over many years. Traditionally, it was one patient to one doctor, in one location, but this has evolved to be one patient too many care providers across many locations. The underlying technology infrastructure was (and still is) built around this 1:1 relationship, and it is no longer suited to the new fragmented patient journey.

As a result of this fundamental change in the patient journey, although the treatment of disease has improved drastically, the patient's care remains siloed.

Globally, the demand for healthcare continues to outstrip supply, and so costs are spiraling unsustainably. A vast amount of resources is wasted in every step of the existing patient journey because of these siloed models of care. To date, the solution has been either to throw more resources (Doctors and nurses) at the problem or to implement point solutions like AI and video conferencing. Neither of these solves the systemic problem of unlocking true capacity in the system.

Our solution.

To connect the healthcare ecosystem. Our platform enables new models of collaborative, distributed, and intelligent care to optimise patient outcomes and make smarter use of healthcare resources, through the creation of digital pathways.

The platform provides the underlying infrastructure that enables a more effective healthcare ecosystem through the interoperability of structured data between all stakeholders.
