One open platform. Built for your role.

Start with the tools, data layers, and solutions tailored to what you need to deliver today.

Meet Better Platform.

A vendor-neutral foundation for structured clinical data, shared platform services, low-code development, open APIs, and the applications that run on top.

01

Data that outlives applications.

Clinical and operational data remain independent from any single application, keeping the record portable, structured, and reusable.

  • Longitudinal clinical data in openEHR
  • Operational and administrative data in FHIR
02

Shared services for every application.

Security, terminology, workflow, authentication, and AI capabilities are shared across the entire ecosystem.

  • Security and audit
  • Terminology services and workflow engine
  • Authentication and AI services
03

Build faster with healthcare-specific tools.

Better Studio and the Better Design System help clinical and technical teams design and deliver applications together.

  • Low-code development with Better Studio
  • Reusable, clinically informed UI patterns
04

One platform, not another silo.

The data, services, and build tools come together as one modular platform, without locking the organisation into a closed application stack.

  • One data model, one API surface, one security layer
  • Modular adoption, no big-bang migration
05

Connect and run every use case.

Open interfaces connect the platform to the wider ecosystem, while Better solutions and your own applications run on the same foundation.

  • Open interfaces to the wider ecosystem
  • Better Meds, PROMs, shared care record, or your own app
Clinical data lives separately from applications. Systems can change without losing a single record, and because the data is structured and standardised, AI works on it from day one.

Open by design. Built to outlast systems.

Powered by open standards

openEHR and FHIR, because health data should be reusable, vendor-neutral, and built to last. Open standards mean integration, collaboration, and freedom of choice.

Data for life

Clinical data that is structured, accessible, and independent of any application. Data that follows patients across systems, and that AI can actually use.

Designed for care teams

From low-code tools to medication management, everything is designed with clinicians, so care professionals can focus on care, not on software.

Built for change

Healthcare systems must adapt, not restart. A modular platform lets organisations modernise at their own pace: evolution over replacement, no big-bang migrations.

Where care teams build

A healthcare-specific low-code environment on the Better platform.

Validated forms on archetype-driven templates. From idea to a working form in hours, not weeks.

Query structured clinical data without deep openEHR expertise, and turn results into summaries and dashboards.

Connect external and internal services with the API Connector, and move data with built-in ETL tools.

Variables, summaries, and scripting for dynamic behaviour. Test in the browser, multilingual included.

From medication management
to national care records

Ready-made solutions that run on the Better Platform – interoperable from day one, from a single ward to a national programme.

Bringing medication management to the next level.

The ePMA solution that improves patient safety, cuts prescribing time, and supports doctors, nurses, and pharmacists in their daily work. NHS Full Rollout Approved for EPS.
