The DI Operating System
Reversing the polarity of healthcare planning.
The NHS plans backwards. National policy dictates services, services dictate staffing. The patient is an afterthought. Trusts, ICSs, and ICBs inherit a model that was never designed around the people it serves.
The Strasys Platform reverses this. We rebuild healthcare from the human outward.

The Decision Continuum.
We call this the SMASH Approach. Traditional planning forces patients into pre-built organisational silos. We use predictive intelligence to map from the Consumer back to the Policy — reversing the direction of healthcare design.

Consumer Need & Segmentation
Population Health Management only looks at disease states. We analyse human behaviours, motivations, and unmet needs. If you don't understand why a demographic accesses care in a particular way, your service model will fail before it starts.
Applied Products & Solutions:
Population Need Segmentation
Behavioural analysis mapping consumer needs to required interventions — unique in the UK market.

"I don't know anyone else who can do what Strasys does. The population segmentation analytics is unlike anything we'd seen. It was the first of a number of real light-bulb moments for the Board."

Responsible AI in Healthcare
Our AI augments human decision-making — it does not replace clinical judgement. Every algorithm is explainable, every recommendation is traceable, and every decision remains with the humans who carry responsibility for patient care.
Questions leaders ask us.
- What is Decision Intelligence for healthcare?
- Decision Intelligence is a discipline that combines data science, behavioural analytics, and AI to convert complex healthcare data into confident executive decisions. Unlike traditional business intelligence — which reports what happened — Decision Intelligence predicts what will happen and recommends what to do about it. It bridges the gap between raw data and executive action.
- How does the Strasys approach differ from traditional NHS planning?
- Traditional NHS planning works from policy downward: national targets dictate organisational form, which dictates services, which dictates staffing. The patient enters last. Strasys reverses this polarity. We start with consumer needs, behaviours, and motivations, then design demand models, workforce structures, service models, and governance that serve those needs. Policy becomes an output of evidence, not the starting point.
- Is the Strasys platform NHS-compliant and clinically safe?
- Yes. All Strasys products operate within sovereign UK data environments, are IG Toolkit compliant, and align with DCB0129/0160 clinical safety standards. Our maternity products are specifically designed around Ockenden recommendations and CNST incentive scheme requirements. Our board products support CQC Well-Led assessment preparation. Our AI augments human decision-making — it does not replace clinical judgement. Every recommendation is explainable and traceable.
- What measurable outcomes has the platform delivered?
- Across NHS trusts, Strasys has helped identify over £14 million in recoverable value within 90 days, reduce agency staffing costs by up to 23%, and distil over 200 transformation priorities into 18 actionable strategic goals. Case studies include Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust (HSJ Gold Award) and University Hospitals of Liverpool Group (HSJ Partnership Award finalist).
- How does Strasys differ from Carnall Farrar, PwC, or Palantir?
- Traditional consultancies sell hours. Infrastructure vendors build data pipes. Strasys is neither. We are a Decision Intelligence firm with proprietary named products — Maternity Risk Index, Board Operating System, Workforce Decision Intelligence — that deploy in days, not months. Our products keep working after the consultants leave, converting NHS data into executive action at a fraction of the cost of generalist firms.
