Teneo.ai and EBO Announce Strategic Partnership to Enhance NHS Patient Engagement Through Conversational Voice AI Solution

Teneo.ai, a leader in advanced voice AI platforms, and EBO, a trusted provider of AI-powered patient engagement solutions in healthcare, are proud to announce a strategic partnership aimed at redefining how the NHS engages with patients, streamlines services, and delivers workflow efficiencies. 

This collaboration brings together the power of Teneo.ai’s highly customisable, voice AI platform with EBO’s AI-powered automation and patient engagement solution. The result: a next-generation voice-enabled engagement layer designed specifically for the NHS. This innovative solution aligns with national priorities around improving access, boosting efficiency, and ensuring equity of care. 

Combining Strengths for Greater Impact

 The partnership leverages the unique capabilities of both organisations: 

  • Teneo.ai delivers a scalable, voice AI platform that enables natural, secure, and context-rich interactions across channels, including websites, mobile apps, telephony, and messaging platforms. 
  • EBO brings deep healthcare knowledge and a proven track record in deploying NHS-ready AI technology that enables two-way patient engagement and automates thousands of patient interactions daily across appointment management, pre-assessments, patient communication, and more. 

Together, Teneo.ai and EBO.ai will offer an integrated, intelligent, and human-centric solution that: 

  • Empowers patients to access and manage their healthcare 24/7, using voice, text messaging, chat or phone.
  • Reduces the administrative burden for NHS staff by automating routine tasks
  • Enhances patient access and experience through personalised, two-way multilingual conversation 
  • Supports elective recovery, care navigation, and digital inclusion
  • Ensures clinical safety and data privacy in line with NHS standards 

The technical integration leverages EBO’s healthcare-trained AI models with Teneo.ai’s multilingual voice platform. The solution maintains GDPR compliance and NHS data security standards while providing real-time analytics that help Trusts optimise resource allocation and identify service improvement opportunities. 

“At EBO, our mission is to eliminate the barriers of access and demand in healthcare and improve digital inclusion. One-third of adults still lack the digital literacy needed to navigate essential NHS services, and we must solve that. Our partnership with Teneo.ai elevates our capabilities to a whole new level—unlocking the voice layer in patient engagement. This innovation enables seamless, natural voice conversations that support patients and staff alike, ensuring even the undeserved patient can access the care they need, on time and in the format they can understand”.

  • Reducing wait times and Did Not Attends (DNAs) 
  • Enabling proactive population health outreach 
  • Supporting channel shift and self-service 
  • Empowering patients to manage their care 
“This partnership marks a significant step forward in our mission to support the NHS with intelligent automation that truly works for both patients and clinicians,” said Per Ottosson, CEO of Teneo.ai. “By combining our technology with EBO’s healthcare expertise, we’re delivering a solution that can meet the real-world challenges of NHS organisations today.”

Delivering Complete Scalable Solutions

“By offering patients the flexibility to choose how they interact with their healthcare providers - whether through voice, text messaging, chat, or phone - we ensure that each individual can access and manage their care in the way that feels most comfortable and natural to them. This partnership is about meeting people where they are, respecting their preferences, and empowering them with the tools and confidence to take charge of their health”

The partnership will focus initially on delivering value to the NHS and UK healthcare industry, with plans to extend into banking and other enterprise sectors in future phases. A combined offering will present NHS Trusts and other organisations with a more complete, pre-integrated solution—reducing deployment times, simplifying procurement, and enhancing service quality for patients and users alike. Innovation lies at the heart of this collaboration. Joint research and development efforts will explore hybrid NLU approaches, proactive virtual agents, and multi-channel orchestration. 

“We're not just delivering technology – we're delivering measurable improvements in patient care and operational efficiency. NHS Trusts see immediate impact: patients get faster service, staff have more time for clinical work, and organizations achieve significant cost savings while improving service quality”,
Spencer Noble
Senior Account Director - UK Healthcare Lead, Teneo.ai
