Schools are now using Medical Tracker.
2015
Luke and Dean decided to turn thoughts into action. Luke holds his final assembly as an SBM while Dean decides to pursue Medical Tracker full-time.
With no idea where to start, they conduct some market research. Armed with a static webpage, an image and a simple question, "Would this help your school?"
70 schools express interest and a few short months later...
...The first school subscribes to Medical Tracker.
By the end of 2015, 21 schools and over 13,000 students had joined Medical Tracker.
2018
Medical Tracker hires its first employee, a meaningful signal of confidence in the product and the beginning of a scalable organisation. The team takes over an old solicitor's office in Penrith, Cumbria (Dean's hometown), and the company cements itself as a local employer.
The cumulative student count on Medical Tracker has surpassed 100,000, as momentum continues to grow.
Unbeknownst to the team, something was about to threaten everything they had built in 2 short years...
2020
The COVID-19 pandemic threatens the existence of Medical Tracker as students are away from school for an extended period.
Despite the early challenges, 239 schools subscribed to Medical Tracker, and we welcomed our 500th school in the middle of the pandemic. With staff working remotely and reviewing systems, the value of Medical Tracker becomes even clearer.
A remarkable result against the headwind, and a sign the product had become operationally essential.
2022
Growth accelerated as the second 500 schools joined in under 2 years. Seven years after the first subscriber, Medical Tracker reaches 1,000 schools, bringing the platform to 500,000 students.
The growth of Medical Tracker is showing signs of accelerating exponentially. With word of the platform spreading, organic inquiries were the largest contributor to organic growth.
The platform begins to cement itself as a platform built for secondary schools as well as primaries.
