Babylon Health, which has 100,000 NHS patients, is being sold off after losing nearly all of its value since founder Dr Ali Parsa floated it for £3 billion on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021. This included a controversial chatbot, which claimed to be able to diagnose illnesses, despite repeated criticism from senior health experts. But one unnamed investor is now understood to have assembled a UK legal team over claims surrounding Babylon's technology. David Watkins, an NHS consultant and arch-critic of Babylon, said: 'The investor is considering legal action in relation to the company's AI, and I have been asked to speak to their legal counsel.' Last year, Babylon and the NHS agreed to terminate two long-term contracts due to 'challenging global and macroeconomic conditions'.
