UpTop Health is a UX design and development agency focused on creating effortless digital experiences for Healthcare Payers, Providers and their Customers.With over 20 years of experience, we're proud of the work that we've done for a wide variety of clients such as: Amazon, Belkin, Catherine Meyer Foundation, Disney, F5, Microsoft, SAP Concur, Healthcare Management Administrators, Premera Blue Cross and Symetra.Our move to focus on UX for healthcare is driven by a need that we see in the market. Our Founder has personal experience with this need. After two major medical events during which John received professional, compassionate care from all of his doctors, nurses and medical staff, he was struck by the challenges he faced with his hospital's website and insurance company's portal. They needed to be better, and John realized that UpTop could make them better.So we launched UpTop Health in 2019 to make that happen.
