Transforming pharmacies in the UK into diagnostic centers
Tuli health is turning all 11 000 independent pharmacies in the UK into diagnostic centers. Our software makes it easy for these pharmacies to sell and fulfill COVID-19 tests today and other diagnostic tests tomorrow. Instead of waiting for a long time or travelling a long distance to receive the tests, customers can now receive tests in their neighbourhood, with results guaranteed in 24 hours. Tuli Health was launched in June, had onboarded 147 pharmacies, performed over 7000 diagnostic tests, and helped pharmacies generate $1.3 million in incremental revenue per month. The vision is to make every local pharmacy into a diagnostic center powered by Tuli Health.
Tuli Health transforms local pharmacies into diagnostic hubs across the UK, enabling convenient blood testing and clinical services through an integrated network. It provides end-to-end testing solutions and white-label options for providers to offer on-site phlebotomy and lab processing. The platform emphasizes a tech-forward approach with APIs and a light administrative burden for clinics and patients.
Tuli offers a network of pharmacy partners and an end-to-end testing solution. Providers can choose: (1) white-label phlebotomy where a provider books tests and Tuli handles collection and post-release back to the lab; (2) full end-to-end testing where patients are sent a kit, collect a sample at the pharmacy, and post it to a partner lab with results delivered back; (3) enterprise/custom solutions for bespoke integrations, kit usage, lab arrangements, and digital/logistic needs. Patients register via a portal, receive a booking link, attend an appointment at a nearby pharmacy, and have samples posted to partner labs; results are returned to the provider. The system features an API/web UI, lab analysis, and a results/report workflow, with convenience features like prepaid postage and streamlined admin. CQC registration and UK lab partnerships underlie quality and compliance.
Who it’s for: Healthcare providers and pharmacy networks in the UK seeking to transform high-street pharmacies into diagnostic centers; health systems or clinics needing phlebotomy networks or diagnostic testing logistics; organizations seeking white-label or enterprise testing solutions.

Jialu is a massive nerd, hence why it came to no surprise to anyone when he decided to do Maths at Imperial College London. However, after Imperial College, he strayed to the wrong path by going into financial services, where he stayed for close to 10 years observing how bad the sector as a whole is in terms of their tech. Being disappointed in FS and himself, he is now atoning his sins by doing a startup in the healthcare space. And yes, that is a Red Hat red hat.
