Scan.com is a technology company.
Scan.com operates a digital platform designed to streamline access to diagnostic medical imaging services. The company develops technology to integrate fragmented imaging providers, payers, and patient-facing interfaces, establishing a modern ecosystem for booking various scans. This infrastructure aims to simplify the process of finding and scheduling appointments, thereby improving the overall efficiency and accessibility of medical diagnostics.
The company was founded in 2017 by Charlie Bullock and Oliver Knight. Their foundational insight stemmed from the observation that the existing infrastructure for diagnostic imaging was outdated and inefficient, leading to delays that could impact patient outcomes. Bullock and Knight set out to create a solution that would directly address these systemic challenges by fostering greater transparency and ease of access for individuals seeking medical scans.
Scan.com primarily serves patients by offering a direct pathway to necessary diagnostic imaging, bypassing traditional bottlenecks. The company’s long-term vision is to make medical imaging radically accessible globally, driven by the belief that early and efficient diagnostics are crucial for saving lives. By creating an effortless, patient-first experience, Scan.com seeks to improve healthcare outcomes on an international scale.

Scan.com is a healthcare technology company that operates an imaging intelligence platform enabling patients to search, compare prices, book, and access medical imaging services like MRI, CT, ultrasound, and X-ray scans at partnered centers. It serves individuals frustrated by opaque pricing, long wait times, and logistical hurdles in healthcare systems, solving these by offering transparency, direct booking, clinician consultations, and upfront payments included in pricing.[1][2][3] Formerly National MRI Scan, the London-based firm has raised $17.67M, achieved rapid traction in the UK and US—potentially nearing $100M revenue—and expanded via pilots in Georgia while eyeing further US states.[1][2]
Scan.com launched in 2017 as a UK-based web referral service founded by clinicians Dr. Khalid Latief and Jasper (Mark) Nissim, who were frustrated by inefficiencies in patient diagnostics, alongside CEO Charlie Bullock, COO Oliver Knight, and designer Joe Daniels.[1][2][3] Starting as a side project, the team bootstrapped until 2021, then raised £4.2M ($5.2M) in seed funding from investors like Monzo co-founder Tom Blomfield, followed by a $12M Series A in 2023 co-led by Oxford Capital, Aviva Ventures, YZR Capital, and others.[2] Pivotal moments include full-time commitment post-bootstrapping, UK growth addressing NHS delays, and 2023 US entry to tackle insurance barriers and poor communication.[2][3]
Scan.com rides the digital health trend toward patient-centric care, democratizing access to diagnostics amid rising demand for imaging driven by aging populations, chronic diseases, and post-pandemic backlogs.[1][3][5] Timing aligns with healthcare digitization, where AI, 3D imaging, and non-radiative ultrasounds enhance precision, while market forces like NHS wait times (UK) and US insurance opacity favor transparent marketplaces.[2][3][5][6] It influences the ecosystem by partnering with centers, boosting utilization, and paving ways for integrated services like preventative screenings, potentially accelerating medtech adoption in a sector seeing innovations like PSMA PET.[5]
Scan.com is poised to dominate diagnostic booking as the go-to platform, expanding US footprint to five+ states, launching more modalities, and integrating add-ons like pathology or AI-enhanced pathways for comprehensive care.[2] Trends like AI-driven imaging precision and value-based care will amplify growth, with revenue momentum signaling $100M potential and further funding to challenge incumbents.[1][2] Its clinician-founded model positions it to evolve from booking facilitator to full health ownership enabler, reshaping fragmented imaging access much like ride-sharing transformed transport—starting with a simple, transparent scan search.
