About iQ HealthTech

Building better healthcare platforms, with people at their heart

People at the heart of what we do, and at the heart of how we do it.

Why we do what we do

Through innovative design, development and services, iQ HealthTech provides tools and solutions to NHS, private and international hospitals and healthcare organisations, with a focus on refining the management of chemotherapy. With deep expertise in clinical development and years of experience supporting cancer treatment professionals, we're proud to be leaders in our field.

The company was founded from experience implenting and maintaining systems in clinical environments, driven by the ambition to expand the boundaries, quality and effectiveness of healthcare tools and platforms, and ultimately collaborate to improve patient outcomes.

“Early in my career, while working as a developer in a NHS Trust, I witnessed first-hand how incredibly dangerous it can be when healthcare systems don't share or surface data that could be critical to a patient's care. This company, the platforms we build and the values that define us, were all born from that experience”

  • Co-founder & Business Development Director

Our platforms are now trusted by more than 15 NHS trusts and around 80% of the private medical groups in the UK, along with a growing number of hospitals worldwide. We are constantly asking how our platforms can work smarter and harder to support the people we work with, and all this is driven by a culture built on a core-set of guiding principles.

Core values

Our principles are central to the platforms we're building, the people we choose to work with and the decisions we make. They define the work that we do, and define the ways we do it.

Collaborate

We respect and listen to each other, and value respect, honesty and transparency in all we do.

Share knowledge

We ask for help when we need it, and we willingly provide it when there's an opportunity to support.

Create delight

We ensure our actions have a positive impact for the people they affect.

Be ambitious

We expand our boundaries by encouraging bold and creative thinking across all our teams.

Review and improve

We encourage and support continual self-development and strive to improve all we do.

Improved patient safety

We harness functionality within our systems to eradicate or mitigate errors and risk.

People-centric design

We refine our systems by listening to our users and understanding their needs

Innovation in technology

We adapt our systems to take advantage of new technology in a safe and scalable way.

Systems that integrate

We believe closed systems are hobbling healthcare. We build tools that work well with others.

Build genuine value

By harnessing SaaS models, we can deliver incredible value to our customers.

Data-driven care

Data defines our systems, enabling us to surface insights that support better care.

History

iQ HealthTech was setup in 2011, by two software developers and a consultant oncologist, to build tools that enable better healthcare.

2011

For the two-year launch phase between start-up and the first customer going live, the founders built the first version of iQemo at home, whilst holding down full-time jobs in the financial and healthcare sectors.

2013

The first official version of iQemo was released in January 2013, as part of a pilot with Healthcare at Home. In November they signed-up and began a nationwide rollout, starting with just 8 consultants, which quickly ramped-up to over 150 within the first 18 months.

2014

iQemo undergoes further development to support treatment in private hospital settings, and the first two major UK private healthcare groups start onboarding with iQemo.

2015

Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, our first NHS hospital, signs-up in April 2015. This was a major milestone for us, enabling us to demonstrate the value iQemo could bring to the NHS.

2016

Following several more NHS contract wins, The Christie Hospital in Manchester chooses iQemo in December. This is a game-changer, that proves iQemo can serve Europe's largest single-site cancer centre.

2017

The March release of iQemo brings support for complex haematology prescribing for The Christie. During a rapid rollout iQemo was integrated with their PAS and lab systems, over two hundred haematology regimens built and validated and doctors, pharmacists and nurses trained in just 16 weeks. At the time it was our biggest and most challenging achievement.

2018

Development continues for The Christie, with the remaining disease groups coming online by the end of February. That's over two thousand regimens, 13 satellite sites and over 1,500 users. Additionally, the number of private hospitals using iQemo tops 50.

2019

iQemo roles-out across the Lancashire and South Cumbria Cancer Alliance, with implementations across the four NHS trusts in the region, taking place between April and November.

2021

Implementation of iQemo begins at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London. This is also the year that sees iQemo step outside the UK, with implementation beginning for South Australia Health, in collaboration with the global healthcare partner, Allscripts.
