Weightless prescribes GLP-1 treatment and wraps it in real human care — coaching, nutrition, blood work, the lot. We built the four products that make that care actually run: the site patients land on, the app they live in, the portal they manage their journey through, and the dashboard the clinical team runs the whole operation from.
The GLP-1 space has a trust problem. Half of it looks like a pharmacy checkout; the other half looks like a wellness scam. Weightless wanted to be the opposite — a clinician-led programme where the medication is just one part of a supported, monitored, genuinely medical journey.
But that ambition only works if the operations behind it hold. A patient checks eligibility, gets reviewed by a real UK clinician, starts treatment, books consultations, logs weight, gets blood tests, and adjusts dose over months. Behind the scenes, someone has to manage every one of those steps for every patient. Off-the-shelf tools couldn't connect that loop — and a disconnected back end would show up as a slow, uncertain experience for exactly the patients who needed reassurance most.
We ran both engines at once — the brand-facing experience and the operational machine behind it — so they were designed as a single thing, not stitched together later. One team, one sprint, one coherent system from the patient's first tap to the clinician's daily queue.

Care you can feel
The patient-facing surfaces had to feel like medicine you'd actually trust without feeling like a hospital intake form. Calm palette, generous space, real progress made visible — weight trends, milestones, the next appointment — so the patient always knows where they are in the journey.

One loop, four surfaces
We architected the whole programme as a single operational flow surfaced through four products. The patient app (React + TypeScript on Vite, with TanStack Query keeping clinical data live) handles tracking and check-ins. The portal manages the patient's plan. The internal dashboard gives the clinical team a real operations console — orders, consultations, blood tests, dose adjustments — on an Express/Node API with Firestore and Firebase Auth. One source of truth, four ways in.

Brand and build, same sprint
Because the same team owned the look and the logic, the warm front end and the rigorous back end never drifted apart. The reassurance a patient feels on the surface is backed by an operational reality that actually delivers it.
“Artyreal didn't just design our website. They built the operational backbone of the clinic — orders, consultations, blood tests, and tracking all run through one system they architected end to end. In eight weeks. ”
These are Weightless's clinical results — the platform we built is what makes delivering them at scale possible: a programme with 5,000+ members and a 4.9/5 rating, where 95% of members lose weight permanently, and each clinician gets back around 29 hours against their old manual workflow. Four products, one loop, eight weeks.
Four products. One loop. Eight weeks.
