Enabling every sector of the healthcare and fitness industry
Healthcare sectors
Hospitals
We're working with leading hospital groups to elevate the patient experience through digitisation of patient journeys, employing service design thinking, machine learning and integrations to make care seamless.
Healthcare Services
We're working with multiple healthcare service providers like Millbrook, Eating Recovery Center and InHealth to scale their businesses rapidly without jeopardising patient care. From end-to-end medical warehousing systems to restructured care paths, we understand how to integrate digital into healthcare services.
Pharmaceuticals
We're working with pharmaceutical brands like Visufarma to elevate the direct-to-patient pathways in a post-COVID world. As the consumer becomes more informed, we are helping the sector deliver a better D2C experience that drives engagement, elevates brands and improves sales, all within the tight parameters required by the sector.
Healthcare Devices
We helped Terumo, Thermo, Peak and others build their brand, and elevate digital to being a critical sales and marketing channel for these traditionally offline businesses. As more buyers seek information and engagement online, we're the perfect partner to drive digital engagement and lead generation for healthcare device companies.
Private Healthcare
We have worked with Private Healthcare brands for over fifteen years. From healthcare insurers like AXA and Vitality, to direct-to-consumer brands like Vista Healthcare and Check4Cancer, we understand the unique challenges of marketing private healthcare in the UK.
Health Tech
We remain at the cutting-edge of healthcare technologies (HealthTech). We work with innovative healthcare brands, pioneering AI-powered digital triage, digital self-service and indoor navigation for hospital and private healthcare brands, and much more.

Experience Design
Delivering the convenience healthcare customers expect
Across the healthcare sector, people are used to receiving ever more data and information about their health and how to look after it. The challenge today is how to turn this information into relevant insight.
By developing deep insights into people's needs, our Experience Design experts create smart, personalised experiences that allow users to interact with complex data and handle delicate issues, with ease and confidence. This approach is transforming brands like Virgin and Vitality. How could it help yours?
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
AI that delivers better outcomes and cost savings
AI is now streamlining and prioritising work processes. Machine learning algorithms predict workload and manage tasks based on urgency, complexity, and resource availability, increasing overall operational efficiency. Powerful predictive models can also help digitally triage patients and drive self-service.
Our expertise can augment legacy with leading-edge technology, bringing AI toolsets to work in your clinical and office processes, cutting costs, improving patient care, and delivering the right outcomes.
Integrated Marketing
Affirmative, relevant and engaging social media in healthcare
Whether prospective patient or gym member, relationships are everything, Our social media team understand the sensitive and affirming relationship health and fitness brands need to have with their customers. From creative content to relationship management, we know how to make your brand relevant.
We designed and built AXA PPP's social media strategy from the ground up, working with them and their PR teams to develop content, engagement, excitement and positivity. We helped take them from payer to partner.
Production & Engineering
Fixing a fragmented healthcare system
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine, enabling patients to consult with healthcare providers remotely. Remote patient monitoring devices are also gaining popularity, allowing continuous monitoring of vital signs and other health data. But healthcare business remain monolithic and built on legacy.
Equator can help heal the wounds of uncontrolled growth. We have over ten years of expertise in integrating disparate medical and healthcare platforms into business-critical systems, making businesses faster, more efficient and delivering a seamless service.
Data
Data-driven evolution to keep you ahead of the curve
Healthcare is a sector ripe for disruption. Technology continues to improve the patient journey, reduce process complexity, minimise paperwork and deliver better outcomes. Our experts, across data, strategy and design, deeply understand health technology and have delivered solutions for many healthcare organisations.
We have delivered a cutting-edge patient app for AXA PPP healthcare & Nuffield Health which integrated the patient journey with the point of care - the hospital. We delivered effective process automation, document handling and back-end processing for AXA International - helping expatriates seek healthcare directly through an app, with no paperwork required.
