At Big Picture Medical, we are passionate about revolutionising healthcare through cutting-edge technology.

Big Picture Medical was founded by Dr Tom McKinnon, whose path from finance to emergency medicine exposed how fragmented information, rather than lack of clinical capability, shaped outcomes. That insight became the foundation for his conviction to build the infrastructure to address healthcare's data problem at its source.

Over the past decade, while the market chased applications, Big Picture Medical was building a semantic and orchestration layer that standardises meaning across systems and enables data to move with context intact. Developed within live healthcare environments such as the UK's National Health Service, the platform reflects deep understanding of clinical workflows, safety requirements, and enterprise complexity.

What Tom saw as a doctor over a decade ago is now the defining constraint of a global shift in healthcare. AI cannot scale without the infrastructure beneath it. Big Picture Medical has spent ten years building exactly that.
