When we say from idea to an app in an hour, we mean it. In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the Better Studio, our low-code healthcare-specific development tool and its features. We will learn how to build an application, deploy it, and also try it.
11:30 – 12:30
Come to the session and learn how EHA Clinics developed their EMR system with 80 different use cases with Better Studio low-code tools in just 12 months. Explore an ecosystem of workflow-driven tools that support clinical care, digital/telehealth, home care, community health, continuous quality improvement, and clinical research.
Green stage: Better Meds

9:45 – 10:30
Learn about Somerset NHS Foundation Trust and Better’s joint Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) journey. From early planning to go-live, discover how the teams worked together to navigate national standards, technical complexity, and clinical priorities—bringing tangible improvements to prescribing workflows and patient safety.
10:30 – 11:15

11:15 – 12:00

13:30 – 15:00
Single Patient Record is more than a clinical portal, it is a true citizen record. It consolidates patient data across the entire health and care ecosystem and adheres to the principle of a persistent vendor-neutral platform based on openEHR and FHIR. Come to the workshop to explore the journey of a true citizen record.
13:30 – 14:15
Get hands-on with reimagining how patient prescription history can be viewed. Learn how therapies from different sources will be displayed in a consolidated medicines record. Explore the planned phasing for this module and get hands-on with testing prototypes to contribute to clinical co-design.
14:15 – 15:00
Explore our mobile app for medication administration. Designed for clinicians on the move, it helps you manage patient lists, stay on top of daily administration tasks, and record medications—even when connectivity is limited.
