Our STory

A New Beginning

BlackFrame.AI is a startup founded in 2024, to Standardise, Streamline and Automate Training and Assessment of Clinical Skills for the Healthcare Workforce. We founded our team in January, and by April we completed an early prototype. MVP was ready by September and is currently being trialed by several medical schools.

The BlackFrame

Uses a combination of the BlackFrame device and our cloud based AI platform to capture student performance, analyse it and provide AI powered results and feedback.

Guarding against Bias

Inherent human biases that affect grading are not a thing on our platform. Our models are configured to remove personally identifiable information before grading and focus solely on merit.

Scalable Savings!

Status quo relies on the presence of an expert assessor at £9 per assessment. BlackFrame can provide a better service for a fraction of this cost.
