The project will build and deploy new artificial intelligence (AI) platforms to help clinicians with faster diagnoses and treatments, personalized therapies, and effective screenings for a range of diseases and procedures.

Answer also supports the development and delivery of the NHS Integrating Care Program in partnership with NHS Digital.

A spokesman said; “The NHS Integrating Care Program works to connect healthcare and social IT systems by making the systems work together.”

“Answer is a leader in digital transformation in the financial services industry. It supports RPMI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Railways Pension Trustee Company Limited (RPTCL), which brings new digital services to more than 500,000 customers.”

Commenting on the growth, Gary Parlett, Founder and General Manager of Answer, said, “Since we moved to employee ownership, Answer has come a long way.

“We have put our people at the center of everything we do, and that means we have great people who are passionate about what they do. This is driving rapid growth in the healthcare, financial services and broader business sectors.

“We continue to invest in training our team and building a culture that will attract the best talent in the country. The additional 100 jobs we are creating are just the beginning of our plans for the business. “

The company is expanding its academy, which has been teaching young people digital skills in software development, integration, test automation and project management for six years.

Over half of Answer Digital’s employees are alumni of the academy.
