EQUAL CARE

What EQUAL CARE does

EQUAL CARE AG is a Swiss-incorporated health data company, founded in 2023 and headquartered in Zug, that operates the EQUAL Registry and EQUAL Evidence platforms to certify medical products for sex- and gender-balance in clinical data. The company addresses a documented gap in clinical evidence — 75% of medical interventions do not have the same effect on men and women — by maintaining a proprietary structured evidence database of 319 medication evaluations spanning therapeutic areas including Cardiology, Oncology, Neurology, Psychiatry, Infectious Disease, and Rare Diseases. The database draws from peer-reviewed literature (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library), regulatory filings (EMA, FDA, Swissmedic), and clinical trial registries.

EQUAL Evidence is an AI-powered clinical intelligence service that uses natural language processing to interpret queries from healthcare professionals and researchers, maps them to the structured evidence database, and synthesizes sex- and gender-disaggregated findings with full citation traceability to original sources. EQUAL Registry certifies products and services across seven categories: Medication, Diagnostic/Treatment, Digital Diagnostic/Treatment, AI-Supported Diagnostic/Treatment, FemTech, MaleTech, and Digital Prevention, with named certified products including herMaid (Her-Medical-Aid GmbH), Medicstream (medicstream GmbH), Cardio Explorer (Exploris Health AG), PIPRA (PIPRA AG), HELLO INSIDE (Roots Health GmbH), and Mepha Pharma certifications.

The business operates a dual revenue model combining (1) a freemium subscription for EQUAL Evidence (three free queries upon registration, then 60 questions per rolling monthly period on a paid plan) and (2) enterprise certification fees paid by pharmaceutical and MedTech companies for product evaluation and certification. Core partnerships include Evidence Hunt as clinical data provider, Stripe for payment processing, and AWS and/or Google Cloud hosting under EU and Swiss data residency. The company employs seven people, operates in Switzerland, the EU, and the UK, and is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
