Digital projects in hospitals often feel like a contradiction:Urgently needed – yet hardly feasible. Not due to a lack of motivation, but because resources are stretched, other projects are running, and integrations are complex.

Still, many hospitals sense: Something needs to change.

Patients expect digital services
Internal processes are paper-heavy, inefficient, and resource-intensive
And staff are already at their limit.
The pressure is risign

The heyPatient way: Simple entry - real impact

Instead of launching another big project, hospitals and clinics take a different approach:

Start lean - see results quickly - scale up later.

"We just wanted a patient app to automate appointment notifications. It quickly became clear: there's so much more we can simplify." Project lead, rehabilitation clinic

Whether it’s digital admission, e-appointments or patient task automation – heyPatient enables focused steps with instant relief.

Choose a starting point. Connect. Go.

Thanks to existing system integrations (see here), proven Standards (e.g. HL7 FHIR) and ready-to-use integration code, setup often takes just a few hours.

Even in non-standardised environments, implementation typically takes no more than 2 days.

"The integration expertise was clear – in both the architecture and the collaboration. And honestly? It was even fun." IT lead, regional hospital

Choose your starting point. Activate. Go.

Clarity and decision confidence: Design Workshop

The Design Workshop is the ideal starting point for many:

Structured, compact, solution-oriented – with one goal: create clarity, together. With minimal internal effort.

"The workshop was incredibly valuable. All key stakeholders were involved – and stayed involved, because they felt heard. We now have a shared vision, prioritised use cases, and a solid foundation for our internal decision – all with minimal effort." Head of Patient Management, Private Clinic
