Redefining Healthcare Through
Data, AI &Trust
“We are a health-tech company driven by empathy, cultural relevance, and advanced data insights, building a future where every patient's voice matters.”
About us
We are a UK-based health-tech company, using AI and actionable data to help pharmaceutical and biotech organisations. design smarter, more inclusive approaches to patient care.
We understand how the lack of accurate and representative data can lead to misinformed decisions, delayed treatments and overwhelming experiences for patients and their families.
Our mission is to empower patients to share their views, experiences and needs, enabling a deeper understanding of how to treat both rare and common illnesses.
Using technology and community-driven engagement, we help companies gather meaningful patient insights intelligently and efficiently, leading to better trial design, improved retention and more human-centred healthcare delivery.
Our Story
As a founder who experienced the loss of my mother to a rare disease, I understand the challenges families face when navigating complex healthcare systems.
This personal experience fuels our commitment to creating solutions that resonate with people everywhere, empowering individuals and improving how care is delivered.
At Distinct Health, we use that perspective as the foundation for trust and empathy, transforming patient engagement into insights that enable life-science companies to deliver care that is smarter, faster and truly centred on people.
