Patients Know Best (PKB) provides a comprehensive Personal Health Record (PHR) platform that centralizes patient data from healthcare providers, enabling secure access for both patients and professionals. The platform, launched in 2008, equips users with tools for managing health information, care plans, appointments, and real-time communication with healthcare providers.
Addressing the fragmentation of health information, PKB empowers over 5. 3 million registered patients and a range of healthcare professionals across the UK, further enhanced by its integration with the NHS App to increase accessibility in various environments. Patients Know Best generates revenue through partnerships with healthcare organizations, such as hospitals and health boards, which sponsor access to the PKB platform at no cost to patients. This B2B model involves contractual agreements where healthcare providers cover licensing and integration costs for the PKB system, supporting patient engagement and data sharing within the healthcare ecosystem.
While specific pricing details are not disclosed, the revenue structure primarily relies on these institutional partnerships to deliver PKB services efficiently to patient populations. In January 2025, Patients Know Best secured GBP 6 million in venture debt from Growth Lending, which will be utilized to enhance the scalability of its digital personal health record platform and support global expansion efforts. The company aims to penetrate new markets and geographic regions, although specific markets have yet to be detailed. These initiatives form part of the strategic plan to broaden PKB's reach and improve healthcare delivery outcomes.
