Acuity

Elevating healthcare with a revolutionary medical scheduling app

Acuity is a med-tech start-up with a focus on decreasing friction and increasing engagement for doctors, specialists and their patients through the recovery and healing process.

The Problem

In the competitive landscape of med-tech, Acuity, a pioneering startup, confronted the dual challenge of establishing cut-through and gaining recognition among investors and within the medical industry. As a newcomer, Acuity faced the hurdle of building a distinctive brand identity amidst established players. The complexities of conveying the app’s unique value proposition were exacerbated by industry skepticism toward new entrants.

Investor engagement hinged on the startup’s ability to articulate its differentiators effectively and demonstrate a solid understanding of market dynamics. Acuity had to navigate the inherent skepticism within the medical industry, where reliability and proven efficacy were paramount. Building trust among healthcare professionals and institutions became a pivotal aspect of the brand recognition strategy.

Acuity needed to use strategic marketing, clinical validation, and key partnerships, emphasising the app’s role in easing friction and boosting recovery success to cement its credibility in med-tech.

The Development

Helicopter Creative tackled these challenges by focusing on the app’s user experience, UI, and overall brand. We conducted thorough market research to identify unique features and strategically designed an intuitive interface. The agency prioritised a cohesive brand narrative, emphasising the app’s effectiveness and user-centric design.

In simplifying complexities, Helicopter Creative played a crucial role in establishing Acuity’s distinct brand image, effectively addressing med-tech recognition hurdles and enhancing investor engagement.

The inspiration behind the brand strategy stemmed from core concepts integral to Acuity’s mission: data and investigation, neurons and pathways, body and pain centres, and outcomes and measurement. These elements were woven into the brand’s visual identity and messaging, reflecting the app’s foundation in cutting-edge medical science and precision. Visual motifs symbolised neural pathways and data flow, while clean, modern design elements highlighted clarity and measurement. This conceptual framework not only resonated with the target audience but also reinforced the app’s focus on innovative, evidence-based solutions, creating a brand that was both scientifically grounded and emotionally compelling.

Inspired by an idea of “Connecting the Dots,” 
Acuity’s brand, embodies precise intersections, relationships, and meaningful connections, conveying unity and clarity.

The Solution

The genesis of Acuity’s brand, rooted in the concept of “Connecting the Dots,” is a visual and philosophical exploration of precise intersections and relationships. A dot, an abstract symbol, signifies the exact locality of an intersection—a point of connection, meaning, or significance. It embodies discussion points, meeting points, and even metaphorical pressure or pain points. Rarely existing in isolation, a dot derives its essence from relationships with other signs, emphasising unity and interdependence.

In the context of Acuity, this symbolism is translated into a brand narrative that encapsulates the app’s commitment to precision, clarity, and connectivity within the complex landscape of med-tech. The brand visually and conceptually conveys the power of meaningful connections, be it in ideas, opinions, or healthcare elements, fostering a sense of unity and purpose in Acuity’s mission.

The Execution

Helicopter Creative skilfully executed the brand vision for Acuity by crafting an award-winning user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) for its application. The process began with meticulous research and user-centric design principles, ensuring intuitive navigation and aesthetically pleasing layouts. The team prioritised functionality, creating a seamless flow that addressed user needs while enhancing engagement. Their innovative design elements and attention to accessibility set a new benchmark for usability. This approach not only aligned with Acuity’s brand identity but also distinguished the application in the market, earning acclaim for its groundbreaking UX/UI execution.

The Rollout

Building on the success of the application, Helicopter Creative extended Acuity’s brand across multiple platforms to ensure a cohesive and impactful presence. They designed presentation templates that reflected the brand’s modern aesthetic while maintaining clarity and professionalism. Social media templates were created to capture attention online, featuring dynamic visuals and consistent branding for seamless integration across platforms. The team also developed printed collateral, including sleek, branded documents and promotional merchandise such as apparel, pens, and custom packaging. Each touchpoint was meticulously crafted to reinforce Acuity’s identity, ensuring the brand resonated with its audience across both digital and physical channels.
