ToukanLabs is a UK-based health technology company specialising in interoperability, data integration, and digital infrastructure for healthcare. The company enables NHS organisations and health systems to connect disparate clinical systems, standardise data flows, and unlock value from existing technology investments.

With deep expertise in NHS architectures, national standards, and legacy integration, ToukanLabs focuses on solving some of healthcare’s hardest problems: fragmented data, complex system landscapes, and slow digital change. Their approach prioritises pragmatic integration, standards-led design (such as HL7 and FHIR), and operational delivery, helping healthcare providers modernise safely while maintaining clinical trust and system resilience.

OpenEyes

OpenEyes is a specialist electronic health record (EHR) platform for ophthalmology, designed in close collaboration with clinicians to support high-volume, high-complexity eye care services. Widely adopted across the NHS, OpenEyes enables clinicians to manage patient records, imaging, workflows, and outcomes in a way that reflects real-world ophthalmic practice.

The platform is open-source, standards-aligned, and interoperable, allowing it to integrate with wider hospital systems while remaining adaptable to local needs. OpenEyes is recognised for improving clinical efficiency, data quality, and patient safety, and plays a key role in supporting the NHS to deliver scalable, digital-first ophthalmology services.

Why work with us

1. Deep NHS and public-sector expertise, with global perspective

We understand how the NHS actually operates — from national policy and central governance through to local trust and ICB decision-making. This is complemented by a strong international perspective: ToukanLabs was founded in Australia and has an established footprint across the Australian healthcare ecosystem, enabling partners to translate proven innovation between markets.

2. Proven ability to navigate complex healthcare systems

The UK healthcare market is highly regulated, risk-averse, and operationally complex. We bring experience navigating:

• NHS procurement frameworks (e.g. G-Cloud)
• Clinical safety, information governance, and cyber assurance
• Multi-stakeholder clinical and operational environments
• This is underpinned by ToukanLabs’ work with leading Australian partners, including Centre for Eye Research Australia (CERA), demonstrating credibility in similarly complex clinical settings.

3. Trust-led approach to adoption

In healthcare, technology adoption is driven by trust as much as capability. We prioritise clinical engagement, transparent governance, and long-term relationships. This approach has been critical to building credibility both within the NHS and across the Australian health system, supporting sustainable adoption rather than short-term deployment.

4. Interoperability and integration first

We focus on solutions that integrate into existing healthcare ecosystems rather than sit alongside them. Our work is grounded in recognised standards (such as HL7 and FHIR), ensuring solutions are scalable, interoperable, and aligned with national architectures in both the UK and Australia.

5. Real-world delivery, not just strategy

We bridge the gap between strategy and execution. Partners benefit from hands-on support across market entry, assurance, deployment, and scaling — informed by real delivery experience across multiple healthcare systems.

6. Partnership-led, long-term mindset

We work as a partner, not a vendor. Our success is tied to helping organisations solve genuine healthcare problems, demonstrate measurable impact, and build lasting trust with clinicians, health system leaders, and patients.
