Our Story

Built by people who've

been inside the system

Santegic was born from a simple observation: getting healthcare innovation from idea to real-world impact takes far longer than it should. We exist to change that.

Our Founding Story

Born from the pandemic

The catalyst for Santegic was the Covid-19 pandemic. Working at the heart of public health solution delivery, alongside governments and healthcare providers across multiple countries, our founders saw first-hand both the extraordinary potential of digital health innovation and the frustrating structural barriers that slowed it down.

Great technology sat in procurement queues. Compliance pathways were opaque. Cybersecurity was treated as an afterthought rather than a foundation. The innovators were brilliant. The system was slow.

Santegic was founded in 2022 to bridge this gap. Bringing the expertise, relationships, and structured frameworks that allow digital health innovation to move at the pace the sector demands.

Our Mission

Why we exist

For innovators

For health organisations

Support healthcare providers in adopting digital solutions securely and compliantly with the confidence that comes from working with people who understand both the technology and the health system context.

Ultimately, every piece of work Santegic does is aimed at improving patient outcomes by getting better technology to patients faster and more safely.

Meet the Team

Meet the people behind Santegic

Between us, we've spent over 20 years working across health and life sciences. We've seen great ideas stall on compliance, promising solutions delayed by regulation, and healthcare providers struggling to keep pace with digital transformation and rising cyber risk. That experience is why Santegic exists and it shapes everything we do for our clients.

Larry Breen
CEO & Founder

Larry founded Santegic after two decades working across digital health, public health technology, and enterprise software, including leading large-scale deployments for governments and healthcare providers during the Covid-19 pandemic. That experience, seeing first-hand what happens when great technology meets unprepared systems, fragmented regulation, and mounting cyber risk is what gave rise to Santegic.

His conviction is simple: healthcare deserves advisors who genuinely understand it. Not generalists applying a generic framework to a sector they've never worked inside.

Today Larry leads a team of specialists spanning compliance, regulatory strategy, digital transformation, and cybersecurity bringing together the two disciplines that healthcare organisations increasingly can't separate. He is a regular voice on the convergence of healthcare regulation, cyber resilience, and patient safety, and leads the South Chapter of the Connected Health & Wellbeing Cluster.

Previously Co-founder of Crystal Valley Tech and former Chair of Linux Foundation for Public Health.
