About Anima

Anima is transforming healthcare by pioneering a "Care Enablement" platform that automates and optimizes clinical workflows. The company's mission is to deliver precision medicine to every person in the world within 24 hours. Their platform combines online consultations with powerful productivity tools, streamlining patient care management. Anima's technology already powers clinical workflows daily, helping clinicians save time, reduce administrative burden, and focus on patients. Currently, their solutions support over 5 million patients and are deployed in more than 150 NHS clinics in England. This rapidly growing healthtech company aims to expand its reach to tens of millions of patients and healthcare professionals globally.

How We Work

Anima cultivates a culture of intense ownership and rapid execution, valuing individuals who thrive in ambiguity. They foster an environment where team members communicate openly and share knowledge. Collaboration is key, with daily stand-ups and extensive online tools like Slack, Asana, and Loom used to keep distributed teams connected. The company believes in empowering talented individuals with autonomy, supporting their growth while expecting a deep sense of purpose and commitment to their mission.

Engineering at Anima

Anima's engineering team is at the forefront of healthcare reinforcement learning and agentic AI. Since 2021, they have been building towards personalized medicine and deep phenotyping through their proprietary active learning architecture. They've accumulated one of the largest, highest-quality labeled datasets globally. The team operates with a tech-agnostic approach, selecting the best tools for each task. Their current stack primarily uses JavaScript/TypeScript, with Angular, Capacitor, Electron, and React for web applications, and a fully serverless AWS backend utilizing Cognito, Appsync GraphQL, Lambda, and DynamoDB. They emphasize strong functional and unit test coverage, along with robust CI/CD practices, allowing for rapid feature deployment. The focus is on maximizing productivity and minimizing "discounted dev time cost" to ship features quickly and efficiently. For example, a clinical engineer built a "Slack for medical teams" in just four weeks, supporting thousands of channels and real-time patient data. Another engineer created a fast cloud document library with sub-100ms traversals and reduced latency on a legacy API from 30 seconds to under 2 seconds, deploying it within 24 hours.
