From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 23 September 2015 under the name ‘Lifebox Health Limited’ by two practicing NHS doctors, Sandeep Chauhan and Rosalind Scott. Its purpose was to digitally transform the approach to patient assessments both before and after surgery. Both remain the only directors of the Company. The Company’s name was later changed to Definition Health Limited on 17 June 2020.
Mr Chauhan had previously been a director of Spring Orthopaedics, Jupiter's Orthopaedic and Montefiore Hospital Limited. The latter was a complex joint venture with Spire Healthcare, which involved building the Montefiore Hospital in Hove, a £45m build, and the subsequent running of a business which grew to reach £24m in turnover.
The founders provided loans of £150,000 as initial funding for the Company, and also obtained an early SEIS investment (seed enterprise investment scheme) made by a number of other shareholders. Initially, the Company operated out of the Montefiore Hospital in Hove and subsequently rented space in the Sussex Innovation Centre from late 2019. Although incorporated in 2015, the Company commenced software development in 2018 and won its first contract during the same year.
