Designing Healthcare Firsts

Every relationship starts somewhere.

The first screening procedure, consultation, infusion, injection, device use, conversation.

A campaign by Momentum Health Experience, for pharma, life sciences, healthtech and healthcare teams.

Impactful beginnings

First experiences shape what comes next

First experiences are more than just a moment in time, they shape what comes next. In fact, evidence has shown that our early experiences of a healthcare service or solution can influence our trust, satisfaction, expectations, adherence, continuation and even health outcomes.1-7

  • Trust
  • Satisfaction
  • Expectations
  • Adherence
  • Continuation
  • Health outcomes

Whether it is a treatment, product or procedure, we believe that if we can shape a positive first experience, we can significantly impact the success that follows.

The founding client offer

That is why we created the First Impressions Campaign

To celebrate the launch of Momentum Health Experience we are offering clients who come onboard in the first 6 months of trading a founding partnership package including:

  • Free

    A first experience and opportunity audit

    We look at the way care is delivered today and the opportunities for change within your specific brief.

  • Fixed price

    A co-design sprint focused on one signature experience

    Three weeks, one signature experience, designed with the people who live it.

  • Discounted

    A measurable pilot

    Put the recommended approach into a specific market, location or clinic, and measure its impact.

Every engagement combines our core disciplines of behavioural science, service design, brand and creative strategy, and technology, so the experience we design holds together end to end.
