Parsa s firm operates two key branches – an app, which allows people to hold appointments with a doctor over their mobile phone, and a range of digital self-care tools such as symptom checkers run by artificial intelligence and advice services which help customers manage health conditions.
The business, which charges for its services in countries where healthcare is not state-funded, has also partnered with the NHS to allow patients to see an NHS doctor for free via their phone.
Babylon serves 24m people across the world, and in 2020 helped one patient every five seconds.
Its merger with Alkuri will value Babylon at £3billion – and Parsa owns around a third of the business, valuing his stake at £1billion.
