About Us

Sarvas Health was founded by Martin Ashby and Clare Simpson, and is supported by senior clinical leadership from Dr Matt Kahn. Together, the leadership team brings expertise across healthcare innovation, clinical medicine and applied artificial intelligence.

Our Story

Sarvas Health was born out of lived experience and a shared frustration with persistent gaps in healthcare.

A casual conversation during a medical appointment between a patient and clinician, who would later become part of the founding team, sparked the idea of using AI to tackle a critical challenge: heart failure is often misdiagnosed or detected too late.

From there, the team came together to build a solution that uses AI responsibly to support earlier identification of chronic conditions, combining clinical insight, technological rigour, and a personal commitment to improving outcomes.

Motivated by experiences with family and under-served populations, Sarvas Health focuses on proactive, preventative healthcare. Its mission is to help clinicians intervene earlier, reduce health inequalities, and ensure patients receive the right care at the right time.

Why "Sarvas"

Sarvas is derived from the Sanskrit root sarva (सर्व), meaning “whole”, “all” or “complete”. The phrase svāsthyaṁ sarvārthasādhanam translates as “health is the means to achieve all things”.

The name reflects our belief that earlier diagnosis changes everything. It also signals our commitment to universality: building technology that works across diseases and populations, and actively addressing the gender and ethnicity biases that too often shape health outcomes.
