At Body1, we free great companies to do what they do best—fight disease and save lives.

History

Body1 was founded over a decade ago, with a focus on providing people with the health information they needed most.

Our first product was a series of unbranded health communities focused on specific disease and anatomical areas. These communities engaged millions of patients, clinicians and caregivers and became important communications tools for our customers—biopharma, medtech and healthtech leaders. In response to customer demand, we began sharing our coding, content, and digital marketing expertise to deploy and manage world-class product and corporate websites for our customers. Next we developed and launched the best physician-patient matching system on the Internet. As our customers’ needs grew, so did our technology-enabled services.

Now we are the “NearSourced” partner of choice for many life science firms who outsource their external digital initiatives to us. We free them to focus on what they do best- fight disease and save lives. Through out our evolution, our commitment is unchanged – to provide best in class service to both our corporate customers and the physicians, patients, investors and others who utilize the technology we deploy. Thank you for partnering with us on this journey!
