Our Services

We want to remove the mundane repetitive work associated with healthcare, by building you an intelligent automation platform.

So we promise:

1. always deliver the Service in compliance with the applicable law;
2. maintain all necessary permissions and licences to provide the Service;
3. use all reasonable commercial efforts to ensure the Service is available to you at least 99.5% of the time during any calendar month for as long as we provide the Service to you. Non-availability due to any events caused by third parties or any events outside our reasonable control will not count towards the availability calculation;
4. provide online support between 8:30am and 6:00pm Mondays to Fridays, and 9am to 12:30pm on Saturdays excluding public holidays;
5. monitor our servers for outages and material errors, and notify you in accordance to our policies if any such event occurs
6. provide support for critical outages and aim to resolve outages promptly; and

In order to automate away tasks, Healthtech-1 completes the following activities:

1. direct patient communications via SMS
2. contact patients on behalf of the practice to complete admin tasks, improve the service and investigate potential incidents.

For each task automated we aim to provide:

You accept that whilst we aim to provide a service that meets these standards, Healthtech-1 is not in breach of the terms of this agreement if it does not.

Pricing of services

We have opted to price our service on a usage basis, as we believe it is optimal and fair. Healthcare Organisations should only pay for the tasks we automate for them. We may choose to change our pricing structure at any time, but not without 3 months notice.

If you are on custom pricing, please contact support@healthtech1.uk for specific details on how this will work.

Healthtech-1 will invoice every calendar month for the number of tasks completed. The actual amount will vary month to month.

For example in any given calendar month:

If we processed 500 lab reports using the Lab Report Filing automation for the Healthcare Organisation (500x £0.20) = £100 +VAT

Termination

You can stop using Healthtech-1 at any time. If you stop using Healthtech-1, any personal data you provided will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Whilst you can leave at any time; we do ask you let us know 1 month before leaving and give us a chance to remedy any concerns before termination. We won’t hold you to this; but we do think it’s common courtesy.

Upon termination, your licence to use Healthtech-1 will immediately end and you agree to stop using the Service.

The Service is supported by third parties. Healthtech-1 has ensured these third parties comply with UK GDPR and NHS Digital Standards.

For example:

1. we access your clinical system via the Health and Social Care Network (HSCN) provided by a third party that has completed a NHS Digital DSPT (Data & Security Protection Toolkit).
2. In the future, in order to send emails to patients, we will process limited patient data using a european third party. However we have ensured this provider is UK GDPR compliant.

Usage of third parties as part of the Services is an "as is" basis.
