Aire Logic

Aire Logic is a health tech consultancy that partners with the NHS, public sector and life sciences organisations to deliver meaningful, measurable digital transformation.

We work best with forward-thinking teams who value collaboration, seek sustainable impact, and are ready to do things differently. Many organisations struggle with siloed systems, limited in-house capability, and overwhelming technical debt — that’s where we come in. As a trusted, independent enabler, we co-design and build simple, scalable infrastructure that empowers patients, improves outcomes, and makes staff lives easier.

Employee-owned and B-Corp certified, we prioritise societal value over profit. We invest in open, reusable solutions and always act in the best interests of our partners. Whether we’re supporting local trusts or shaping national programmes, our teams leave our customers in a better place than where we found them.

We don’t just deliver software. We enable change, and help create a more connected, proactive, and sustainable health and care system.
