AI in action
AI is happening now. But how are businesses in the UK using it, and what do they think the future holds?
Lutra Health is a UK-based healthtech startup focused on improving eye care by connecting patients and eye-health professionals through a digital platform - enabling seamless communication and enhancing collaboration in eye care pathways.
They aim to reduce inefficiencies in eye care delivery, shorten waiting times, reduce unnecessary appointments, and improve the overall patient experience. During a pilot in Tayside, Lutra reduced referral to treatment times by 25% and reduced costs.
“At Lutra Health, we’re demonstrating how digital startups are improving healthcare in the UK - reducing waiting times for patients and improving outcomes. But the government must actively support the UK startup ecosystem by reducing regulatory burdens - enabling ambitious companies to scale, collaborate with the NHS, and better support ordinary people.”

AudioStack is an AI audio production platform. Their AI tool converts text into studio-quality audio - including voiceovers, music and podcasts - in seconds and automates the audio production process.
A homegrown London success story, Audiostack enables UK broadcasters, publishers and brands to produce high-quality audio content faster and at a fraction of the cost - empowering the UK’s creative and advertising industries to be more competitive on the global stage.
“We started AudioStack because we genuinely believe AI can make creatives more powerful, not replace them. The UK has incredible talent in voice artists, producers and story tellers. Our mission is to put better tools in their hands. In order to build those tools however, we need to learn from data, and right now the legal uncertainty around the data we can use makes that incredibly hard.
Every month that passes without clarity is a month where the development of these tools slowly drifts outside the UK to friendlier places like the US. The people that lose out in this scenario are not only us but also the creatives we’re trying to serve here.”
Peadar Coyle, Co-Founder
