We seed the right software for sustainable healthcare

We design and build digital platforms that help hospitals, health boards and care organisations plan, act, procure and report on sustainability without adding bureaucracy. Nine years of engineering, a healthcare track record and a team that speaks the language of clinicians, procurement and compliance.

Why it matters

Healthcare has a footprint problem, and a data problem

62 to 71%Procurement and supply chain share of a typical hospital's emissions
Procurement and supply chain Energy Travel Waste Other
Procurement and supply chain dominate; buildings and energy are a minority of the footprint. 2NHS England, Lancet Planetary Health. Segment widths other than procurement are indicative.

If the global health sector were a country, it would be the fifth largest emitter on the planet. It accounts for about 4.4% of global net emissions, and between 62% and 71% of those emissions come from procurement and supply chains rather than from the buildings themselves.

Most hospitals know this. What they lack is a way to act on it that fits the reality of a ward, a procurement office or a facilities team. Sustainability data sits in invoices, spreadsheets, supplier reports and contractor emails. Guidance is scattered across standards, national rules and clinical evidence. Generic ESG tools were built for corporate reporting, not for a nurse deciding which disposable to order or a buyer writing an environmental award criterion. We build the missing layer: software that connects evidence, decisions and results inside the organisation, and that people actually use.

AI

AI that shows its sources

Read our approach to AI

AI is at the core of what we build, and it is never a black box. Our assistants retrieve from curated, validated knowledge bases, cite every source, show a confidence level and hand over to a human when confidence is low. Models run on EU infrastructure, and every deployment is classified and documented under the EU AI Act.

Retrieval based, not free generation.

Answers come from validated documents, with citations.

Human in the loop.

Expert review queues for new content and low confidence answers.

EU hosted models.

Open and EU hosted models where data residency requires it.

Governed by principles.Governed by the EU AI Act.

Seedium is a member of the AI Ethics and Integrity International Association (AIEI) and follows its principles for responsible AI.Every deployment is classified and documented under the EU AI Act, with human oversight built in.

Case studies

Work we are proud of

All case studies
How we work

Evidence > Action. Data > Decisions. Design > Adoption.

  1. STEP 1

    Understand the organisation, not just the requirement.

    We start with the people who will use the software: clinicians, procurement officers, facility managers, compliance teams. Interviews, shadowing and co-design workshops come before the first line of code.

  2. STEP 2

    Build on recognised standards.

    GHG Protocol, ISO 14001, ISO 20400, EMAS, green public procurement criteria and national requirements are built into the data model, so reporting is audit ready from the start.

  3. STEP 3

    Ship in small steps, measure the effect.

    Working software every few weeks, tested with real users on real data, with KPIs agreed upfront so everyone can see what changed.

Team

Engineers who build, advisors who know the ward

Our core team combines senior product design, front end and back end engineering, AI development and DevOps. For sustainability content, procurement rules and clinical practice we work with experienced domain advisors from healthcare sustainability, so that every feature is grounded in how hospitals actually operate.
