Healthcare Software

I rarely talk about this, but my first education was in medicine. I graduated from medical college in Ukraine and started working at a local clinic. For Ukraine, it was a difficult time; the country had just gained independence, resulting in a lack of supplies of food, medicine, and many other things.

In hospitals, the only available medicines were aspirin and bandages, literally nothing else. I saw the entire medical staff of the clinic, from nurses to professors, those with extensive experience and knowledge on how to treat people, looking with horror and pain at the lack of medicines, not knowing how to treat patients. Even the greatest knowledge is useless without medications. Many began to leave the clinic.

One day, a situation occurred that deeply affected me as a young specialist. A small child was admitted to intensive care, and his life could have been saved by a medicine that cost just a few cents, but it was not available. We were all running through the departments hoping for a miracle, asking not only the medical staff but also patients if anyone had this medicine, but to no avail. That was when I felt a sense of hopelessness, and after a while, I left the clinic, changing my life 180 degrees. I went into business and became quite successful.

But years later, when the pandemic started, I suddenly remembered my former colleagues who were under great threat. By that time, I had many new friends among doctors. I saw how all the medical workers around the world were going to work, risking their lives every day, continuing to treat and save others. I realized that they are the true heroes of modern times. They are the main value of the entire healthcare system, not the clinics, technologies, or medicines—it all relies on them. And I really wanted to help them, to make their work more comfortable and reduce unnecessary routine, to help solve some problems.

Since one of my projects was an innovative IT company, my team and I started to work intensively on studying the problems of individual doctors, private and public clinics, and healthcare systems as a whole, interviewing dozens of doctors and clinic managers to understand how innovations and technological advancements could solve healthcare issues. We conducted our research in various countries in the European Union, the United Kingdom, the USA, and Australia and found that the problems are almost identical everywhere, and many technologies are already implemented to some extent in individual clinics.

However, there are still many problems, and some of them, in our opinion, can be solved locally, while others need to be addressed centrally at the level of health ministries. In our articles, we will discuss some of these problems and the innovative technological solutions that our company offers.
