Emrys Health
Emrys Health provides open data infrastructure and a shared architecture pattern to connect the UK health system without requiring physical data centralisation. The company convenes a community of contributors to develop standards and reusable, sovereign building blocks—including a data fabric, secure multi-cloud networks, and managed research environments—that work alongside existing systems. Its modular approach decouples control from platforms, allowing public bodies to modernise while maintaining strategic control over data and intellectual property.

Problem
Health and care services in the UK face increasing pressure to modernise and share data safely, yet progress is constrained by fragmented systems, rising complexity, and digital foundations that public organisations do not fully control. Short-term technology solutions often increase long-term dependency, limit interoperability, and move strategic control away from the health system itself, while researchers face delays of months to access approved datasets.
Solution
Emrys Health provides a shared architecture pattern and open data infrastructure that connects the UK health system without requiring physical data centralisation. The company convenes a community of contributors who define standards, develop reusable components, and embed assurance into the foundations of health technology. Rather than delivering a single monolithic product, Emrys offers modular, sovereign building blocks—including a data fabric, secure multi-cloud networks, and managed research environments—that work alongside existing systems. This approach decouples control from platforms, allowing public bodies to modernise at scale while maintaining strategic control over data, intellectual property, and their digital roadmap. The architecture embeds auditable provenance and compliance into every data interaction, making governance a foundational feature rather than an afterthought.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UK public sector health organisations, including hospitals, government bodies, and research institutions, as well as technology providers seeking to deliver innovative products into the health system through an open-standard orchestration layer.
Features
- Open-source data fabric modules providing connective tissue for collaborative analysis and algorithmic development across isolated data silos
- Secure multi-cloud network deployments that integrate global data platforms with healthcare-specific safety requirements
- Managed Research Environments (TREs) that are regulator-ready, ensuring auditable provenance and patient privacy across distributed clouds
- Embedded Technical Assurance compliance packs pre-aligned with regulation, providing the evidence required to assess novel therapies
- Modular architecture approach where each capability is delivered as an independent but connected component, allowing incremental adoption without wholesale replacement
- Assurance-first design with governance, security, and compliance embedded into the architecture from the start
