Motive Launch New Brand
Over the last year we've been working hard to develop our product and service offerings, to better define what we do and how we go about it.
Driving this process has been our core ideal of communicating in a much clearer way, trying to minimise the techie jargon and show our commitment to innovation both technically and through design.

Eye Care Aided by new NEHEM model from Motive
Motive have created a new online prevalence model, NEHEM, for four major eye conditions aiming to help UK health planners and clinicians improve patient services and anticipate changes when new treatments become available.
Dr Steve Hajioff of the Public Health Action Support Team (PHAST), which produced the model for the Eye Health Alliance said "This is the first time we have had this sort of data and models at local level for eye care."
Dr Hajioff continues "Motive was set a challenging brief to design a completely bespoke solution to meet our criteria. Nevertheless, Motive has met our every expectation, and has delivered on time and on budget a model that is easy to use and easy to understand despite the large volume of data involved."
