Connecting care beyond the hospital
Better-connected discharge journeys
EO HealthHub Connect is developing a digital health platform designed to support a more connected and person-centred hospital discharge experience.
I started EO HealthHub Connect because I saw how difficult discharge can be for patients, families and staff. I wanted to help make that experience better.
Hospital discharge involves more than leaving hospital
Hospital discharge is an important stage of a patient’s care journey. However, it can sometimes be complex and difficult to coordinate, affecting the experience of patients, families and healthcare professionals.
EO HealthHub Connect was created in response to these real-world challenges and our founder’s experience as a Therapy Discharge Practitioner in the NHS. Our aim is to support a more connected and person-centred discharge experience.
The scale of the problem
Too often, delays happen because care packages, transport, equipment, housing, or community support are not ready in time.

- 13,000delayed hospital discharges every day
- 1 in 10hospital beds taken by someone fit to be discharged
- £2.7bnannual cost of delayed discharges to the NHS

Created by someone who understands the challenge firsthand
EO HealthHub Connect was founded by Dr Ebiere O. Osusu, a medical doctor, public health professional, healthcare innovator and Certified Clinical Safety Officer.
She has over ten years of combined healthcare experience, including over six years of clinical practice, public health programme delivery and healthcare management. She also holds an MSc in Global Healthcare Management and currently works in the NHS as a Therapy Discharge Practitioner.
Through her clinical background and direct involvement in hospital discharge, she has seen how challenging the journey can be for patients, families and the professionals supporting them. This firsthand experience inspired her to establish EO HealthHub Connect and explore how digital innovation could support a more connected, person-centred discharge experience.
