HeliosX is a global digital healthcare group behind some of the most recognised online health brands, including MedExpress, Dermatica, ZipHealth, RocketRX, and Levity. The company has earned the trust of millions of patients by combining technology with deep clinical expertise, supported by its own pharmacies, manufacturing capabilities, and in-house medical, research, and pharmacy teams.
By 2025, HeliosX had treated over 1.2M patients worldwide and established £781M in revenue, marking more than 300% year-on-year growth and established itself as a clear market leader in the UK. Its impact goes beyond commercial success too, with weight-loss treatments alone helping patients lose millions of kilograms of excess weight, contributing to meaningful improvements in long-term health outcomes. At the same time, the business expanded internationally, successfully launching in Germany and Canada while continuing to grow its presence in the US.
