A Little History About PatientX
PatientX was first known as 724 Factory, a full-service marketing agency for the food, agriculture, and healthcare industries. After watching one of our own family members struggle to find the services they needed during a health crisis, we knew that healthcare marketing as a field was falling behind. As a result, our focus moved almost entirely to the healthcare field with the desire to improve the patient experience as they interact with a facility’s brand, whether digitally, in person, or in other ways.
As we talked with our healthcare partners, some common themes became apparent: patients were not aware of what their healthcare options were, but they were also relying more than ever on online search engines to find medical information and services.
We made it our mission to deliver that information to patients and to help transform the way healthcare facilities market and communicate with their audiences. We wanted to:
- Help healthcare organizations acquire more patients.
- Use data and technology to understand patient needs.
- Deliver a personalized, seamless experience for patients.
Once our direction was decided, we rebranded, and PatientX was born! Our vision is to Create Transformational Experiences, and that applies to the patient experience and the experience of our partners in marketing.
