Tandem Health (also known as Tandem Health AI Scribe) is a Swedish health technology company that develops an AI-based clinical documentation tool designed to transcribe clinician patient conversations and generate draft medical notes for review. The company has positioned the product as an “ambient scribe” for routine documentation workflows in European healthcare settings, including deployments connected to NHS-facing products in the United Kingdom.[1][2]
History and founding
Tandem Health was founded in Sweden in 2023 by Lukas Saari, Oliver Åstrand, and Oscar Boldt-Christmas. Early reporting described the company as an administrative “co-pilot” for clinicians, focused on automating tasks such as transcription and medical note drafting for healthcare providers.[3][4]
In 2025, Tandem Health announced additional funding and expansion plans tied to scaling use of its documentation tooling across multiple European markets and deeper integrations with clinical record systems used in the UK. UK-focused coverage of the Accurx partnership described the rollout of “Accurx Scribe” built on Tandem's technology for NHS staff, with the goal of reducing time spent on documentation.[5][6]
Technology
Tandem's product is marketed as an “ambient scribe” that captures audio from clinical encounters, transcribes it, and produces structured outputs such as draft medical notes and related documents for clinician review before filing. Accurx documentation for its NHS-facing implementation describes generating structured notes and additional documents such as letters, with workflows for review, editing, and saving to the patient record.[7][8]
How it works
Public descriptions of Tandem's workflow emphasise use during in-person and remote consultations, with the tool producing a draft note that can be reviewed and edited by clinicians. Accurx case material about the NHS deployment similarly frames the product as supporting consultations by reducing documentation burden while keeping clinicians responsible for review and finalisation of records.[9][10]
Compliance and security
In the United Kingdom, Tandem Health has been described in independent reporting as an MHRA-registered AI medical device and has been referenced in the context of meeting NHS expectations for the safe deployment of ambient clinical documentation tools. Reporting on its NHS rollout notes that the product has been classified as a Class I medical device, with clinical use designed to require clinician review and final approval of generated documentation. Coverage of its deployment through Accurx has further linked the technology to NHS assurance processes and safety standards applied to digital clinical systems.[11][12]
The company states that it processes and stores patient data within Europe and operates in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation. Publicly available documentation confirms that Tandem Health's information security management system is certified under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and that its quality management system is certified under ISO 13485:2016 for medical device software. Additional disclosures indicate compliance with the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit, the NHS clinical risk management standard DCB0129, and UK Cyber Essentials, alongside conformity markings under both the EU Medical Device Regulation (CE marking) and the UK Conformity Assessed regime (UKCA). National approvals referenced in security documentation include ENS Nivel Alto in Spain and Valvira A1 classification in Finland, reflecting country-specific assessments for healthcare software and data protection practices.[13][14]
