Products and solutions

[edit]

Better develops digital health software based on open standards, including openEHR and HL7 FHIR. Its products are designed to support the storage, management, and reuse of structured clinical data across healthcare organisations and enable them to build interoperable, data-driven systems.

Better Platform

[edit]

The Better Platform is a digital health data platform built on the openEHR and FHIR standards. It separates clinical data storage from application logic through a vendor-neutral clinical data repository architecture. The platform enables healthcare providers to store structured health records independently of specific front-end applications and supports interoperability across systems.

Better Meds

[edit]

Better Meds is an electronic prescribing and medication administration (ePMA) system. It supports prescribing, medication administration, medicines reconciliation, clinical decision support, and allergy documentation within hospital and regional healthcare environments.

The system is used in hospital and regional healthcare settings and integrates with broader electronic health record infrastructures. It is designed to support multidisciplinary workflows involving physicians, pharmacists, and nursing staff.

Better Studio

[edit]

Better Studio is a low-code development environment built on top of the Better Platform, designed for healthcare applications. It enables clinicians, analysts, and developers to design and deploy applications based on structured data models without extensive software development.

Shared Care Record

[edit]

Better provides shared care record solutions that consolidate patient information across multiple healthcare providers into a unified, longitudinal record. These systems are designed to enable secure access to health information across regional or national health networks.

Care Coordination

[edit]

Better develops digital care coordination tools that support the creation and management of structured care plans across multidisciplinary teams.

PROMs (Patient-Reported Outcome Measures)

[edit]

Better offers software for collecting and managing Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs). These systems enable patients to submit structured health data electronically, which can be integrated into clinical workflows and research environments.
