Kitt Medical

Kitt Medical provides a subscription-based service offering an 'Anaphylaxis Kitt' designed for the emergency treatment of severe allergic reactions. The service is aimed at schools, businesses, and public venues, functioning similarly to a defibrillator for allergies. The company was founded in 2020 by Zak Marks and James Cohen. The idea originated from Marks' final year university project at Loughborough University, inspired by his personal lifelong experience with a severe nut allergy. He identified a need for more accessible adrenaline pens, as many people forget or fail to carry their own.

The business officially launched in early 2023 after a successful pilot phase in 2021 and securing initial funding. The company’s offering includes a wall-mounted kit containing adrenaline auto-injectors for different age groups, CPD-accredited online training for staff, automatic replenishment of pens before expiry or after use, and incident reporting software. The business model is a convenient annual subscription, ensuring that organizations are always prepared for an anaphylactic emergency. Since its launch, the company has installed over 1,500 kitts across more than 1,000 UK schools and businesses, including notable clients like Alton Towers Resort, and has trained over 21,000 staff members. The kitts have been used in at least 18 life-threatening emergencies.

Kitt Medical gained significant public attention and a £75,000 investment after appearing on the BBC show 'Dragons' Den' in March 2025, with Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett investing in the company. This investment brought the company's total funds raised to over £750,000. The founders' vision is for the Anaphylaxis Kitt to become as commonplace as defibrillators, establishing a new standard in public allergy care.
