Significantly reduced late finishes and fivefold increase in predictability, protecting both the wellbeing of staff and patients.
Up to £250,000 per theatre, per year in equivalent theatre capacity gain, with additional time saving in the booking process.
Safer, on-time treatment that reduces risk, resulting in better patient outcomes.

Patients are not getting a fair deal as their acuity grows, their risk increases, and they experience a health service that is becoming increasingly worse value for money.
Staff are under never-before-seen pressures. 26% more days were lost to mental health and wellbeing reasons in 2022 vs. 2019
How it works
Based on a proprietary dataset of more than 1 million records, Opfeed translates free text into classified procedure descriptions, with better detail and specificity than OPCS codes.
Using historical activity and performance data, a machine model produces a reliable prediction for the duration each procedure may take by surgeon. This prediction considers the site and procedure.
A smart algorithm then suggests how procedures should be booked, incorporating any equipment constraints, booking rules or ways of working automatically, making the most of every minute of precious session time.
A simple, easy-to-use interface that’s been designed with accessibility in mind. Within a few clicks, users can schedule multiple sessions, automating hours of previously-manual work.
A reliable and tested methodology, built with supply chain principles, which has delivered significant savings.
Integration with existing clinical systems using proprietary APIs, ensuring no additional work required across multiple systems.
