Ergéa and Newton’s Tree partner to provide integrated AI solution

Ergéa and Newton’s Tree have partnered with the aim of improving healthcare organisations through integrated, AI-enabled digital solutions.

The collaboration brings together Ergéa’s expertise in lifecycle management of medical equipment and Newton’s Tree’s enterprise-wide platform for deploying and monitoring AI applications across clinical and operational domains.

Together, they will deliver a vendor-neutral managed equipment service (MES) offering that will enable integration of AI into NHS clinical workflows with the aim of supporting decision-making and enhancing patient safety.

Dr Ismael Gauci, head of digital strategy and innovation at Ergéa, said: “Our shared mission is to provide our customers with integrated digital solutions that increase their organisational effectiveness and optimise care delivery to improve health outcomes.

“This partnership exemplifies that commitment – combining AI innovation with trusted MES delivery to unlock the full potential of healthcare.”

Newton’s Tree’s platform is designed to support both imaging and non-imaging AI applications, including generative AI, with robust monitoring for clinical safety.

It will be combined with Ergéa’s transformation services, so that clinicians can access to interoperable systems that elevate care standards.

Newton’s Tree also offers a unified platform for managing in-house and third-party AI applications, which is complemented by Ergéa’s bespoke digital infrastructure planning and MES integration.

It is hoped that this joint offering will support NHS trusts in achieving sustainable outcomes without vendor lock-in.

Haris Shuaib, chief executive at Newton’s Tree, said: “This partnership with Ergéa represents a major step forward in enabling AI to drive real impact across UK healthcare systems.

“By combining our AI platform with Ergéa’s trusted MES expertise, we’re delivering a scalable, vendor-neutral solution that empowers clinicians and healthcare leaders to adopt AI with confidence, improve outcomes, and future-proof digital transformation efforts.”

Shuaib is one of 28 health and social care innovators selected for the 2025 NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA), who will take part in a three-year initiative developing solutions to tackle the NHS’s biggest challenges.

The NIA welcomed its new intake of fellows at Digital Health Rewired 2025 in March.

Meanwhile, in 2024 Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust partnered with Newton’s Tree to deploy its AI platform across the trust, allowing it to procure, integrate and monitor third party AI algorithms.

The partnership was formed in March 2024, with the platform deployed across clinical radiology in July 2024 and the first AI applications rolled out in September 2024.
