Case Study

PrivateDoc

We built the digital platform behind one of the UK's fastest-growing online clinics. From e-commerce and clinical workflows to a patient mobile app, kwiboo powers the technology that lets PrivateDoc deliver five-star healthcare at scale.

The Challenge

Healthcare that people actually want to use

Millions of people in the UK deal with health conditions they find difficult to talk about. Weight management, sexual health, skin conditions, hair loss. The kind of issues that stop people from booking a GP appointment, or where the NHS simply does not offer the treatment they need.

PrivateDoc was founded to fill that gap: a fully regulated digital clinic where patients could get expert care for lifestyle conditions, discreetly and conveniently, from GMC-registered doctors. But to deliver on that promise, they needed a technology platform that could handle clinical consultations, prescription management, pharmacy integration, secure payments, and next-day delivery. All of it regulated. All of it reliable. All of it built around the patient.

They needed a technology partner who could build it properly, keep it running, and scale it as the business grew.

What We Built

A complete digital clinic, from consultation to front door

We built the PrivateDoc platform from the ground up and continue to support it as the business scales. The system handles the full patient journey: online consultation, clinical review, prescription management, pharmacy dispensing, payment processing, and delivery tracking.

A patient can complete a consultation at 11pm on a Tuesday, have it reviewed by a GP overnight, and receive genuine medication at their door the next day. That seamless experience is powered by the technology we built.

We also designed and developed the PrivateDoc Patient Portal app for iOS and Android. It gives patients a fully interactive digital treatment plan with dosing trackers, progress diaries, milestone celebrations, and direct access to clinicians.

Beyond the consumer-facing products, we provide ongoing Team as a Service support, handling development, DevOps, and platform operations. This means PrivateDoc can focus on clinical care and business growth while kwiboo keeps the technology running and evolving.

Impact

From startup to one of the UK's exclusive Mounjaro providers

PrivateDoc's growth has accelerated significantly in recent years. The platform now serves patients across the full range of lifestyle conditions, with weight loss treatment emerging as the primary growth driver. When Eli Lilly launched Mounjaro in the UK, PrivateDoc was selected as one of the exclusive providers, a reflection of the clinical credibility and operational capability the platform delivers.

The Trustpilot performance tells its own story. Five stars from over 4,700 reviews is exceptional for any business, let alone a regulated healthcare provider. Patients consistently praise the speed of the process, the quality of clinical care, and the responsiveness of the customer service team. That kind of consistent experience at scale does not happen without solid technology underneath it.

Why It Matters

Digital health is not slowing down

The UK online pharmacy and digital health market continues to grow rapidly, driven by NHS capacity pressures, the GLP-1 weight loss medication boom, and shifting consumer expectations. Patients increasingly expect healthcare to work like every other digital service: fast, personalised, and available on their phone. PrivateDoc meets that expectation because the technology behind it was built to do exactly that.

Building a digital health platform? We have done it.

From regulated healthcare platforms to patient-facing mobile apps, we have the experience to build technology that works in high-compliance, high-trust environments. Let's talk.
