About the Company

Accurx is where conversations happen with and about patients. Through one, easy-to-use platform, we help everyone involved in a patient's care to communicate and collaborate.

Whether you're a patient or a healthcare professional, Accurx lets you connect seamlessly with the people you need to.

We believe that healthcare runs on conversations - conversations in GP practices, on hospital wards, over the phone, text, video, email and from a patient's home. That's why we're working toward a health system where everyone involved in patient care can communicate for the good of patients and healthcare staff.

Every interaction on Accurx helps to build a better-connected healthcare system, where easy communication changes and saves lives every day.
