An award-winning Irish AI healthtech company, xWave Technologies, has secured contracts with over 20 NHS Trusts in the UK for its diagnostic decision-making platform.<\/p>\n

They also announced that it is seeking to raise \u20ac3 million in a new funding round.<\/p>\n

xWave Technologies, headquartered at NovaUCD in Dublin, entered the UK market in 2023 and is now planning to accelerate the rollout of its diagnostic decision-making platform across the NHS in the UK, international healthcare markets and the HSE in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Among the company\u2019s clients is the Yorkshire Imaging Collaborative, one of the UK\u2019s largest and most advanced regional imaging networks, spanning 24 hospitals, 6 NHS Trusts covering a population of more than 2.7 million people.<\/p>\n

xWave has built a suite of AI-driven products that support the diagnostic pathway end-to-end: helping clinicians refer patients for the best test first, reducing the administrative burden on radiology teams through automated operational workflows, and enabling clinical audit at scale to drive continuous improvement.<\/p>\n

Originally focused on solving major inefficiencies in radiology referrals, xWave is now expanding its clinical decision support capabilities beyond radiology.<\/p>\n

The company recently secured its first contract in pathology, opening a new market opportunity and strengthening xWave\u2019s ambition to become the operating system for diagnostic decision-making across healthcare.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a defining moment for xWave. We have gone from two products to five, tripled our ARR, expanded across more than 20 NHS Trusts and now won our first contracts outside radiology.<\/p>\n

“Our mission is simple: to make sure every patient gets the best test first. We are now seeking to raise \u20ac3 million in a new funding round to help us scale that mission across the UK, Ireland and beyond,\u201d said Mitchell O\u2019Gorman, chief executive, xWave Technologies.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cOnce we have secured the funding, we are planning to expand our team by 30 people over the next three years to support regulatory milestones, deepen NHS deployment and accelerate commercial expansion across new diagnostic specialities.”<\/p>\n

We are targeting more than \u20ac15 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) within the next three years, supported by a growing sales pipeline, multi-year NHS contracts and increasing demand for AI-enabled diagnostic workflow tools.\u201d<\/p>\n

xWave is scaling at a time when diagnostic services globally are under intense pressure, with rising demand for imaging, pathology, cardiology, endoscopy and physiological diagnostics colliding with a constrained supply of specialist clinicians.<\/p>\n

Starting with the UK and Ireland, where NHS radiology waiting lists exceed 1.7 million and HSE waiting lists exceed 300,000, xWave is building a platform to help health systems worldwide ensure patients get the best test first, automate low-value operational tasks and deliver clinical audit at scale, with the UK\u2019s \u00a3500 million (\u20ac579 million) Digital Diagnostics programme providing a significant near-term opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiagnostics is one of the biggest bottlenecks in modern healthcare,\u201d said professor Ronan Killeen, consultant radiologist, Chief Medical Officer, xWave Technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cxWave is building the infrastructure layer to help health systems manage demand, improve referral quality, reduce waste and support clinicians in choosing the right test first. Radiology was the starting point, but the need for better diagnostic decision-making exists across every speciality\u201d.<\/p>\n
