Health infrastructure APIs for developers and institutions

Source

The idea

Connect provider systems to national health infrastructure through middleware.

Why this is interesting

  • Middleware that connects provider systems to national health infrastructure reduces integration work for each hospital or developer. It depends on that infrastructure’s adoption and rules, which a startup does not control.
  • The approach is described through eka.care, a company in Speciale Invest’s portfolio. It is an example of how one team addresses the problem, not proof that the space is open or that providers will pay.

Possible starting points

01

Integration for one system type

Connect one category of software, such as laboratory or pharmacy systems, to national health records.

02

Integration testing toolkit

Help developers test and maintain integrations as national specifications change.

Questions to answer

  1. Will providers pay for integration, or expect it from their existing software vendor?
  2. How stable are the specifications a middleware business depends on?
