An integrated digital health ecosystem built on openEHR and FHIR repositories. As the foundation of a data-driven health ecosystem, it increases the pace of clinical and business transformation.
“The Better platform allows us to integrate ePROMs into our existing electronic health records. This means clinicians have access to ePROMs within the same setting they use every day. The platform also offers a low-code environment for developers, making it easy for anyone to pick up or learn how to develop the forms and questionnaires.”Read more

Unleash the power of citizen development with a healthcare-specific, low-code, domain-driven platform that lets you create personalised, clinically validated EHRs — faster than ever before.
“We are a very data and guideline-driven healthcare organisation, and therefore the ability to build reusable content packages that can be shared across different applications is one of the key benefits for us.”
A seamlessly interoperable openEHR data platform that enables comprehensive patient care and consolidates patient data across the entire health and care ecosystem.

Transform healthcare delivery with Digital Health Platform
Transform healthcare delivery with Digital Health Platform
Build a data-driven health ecosystem with Better Platform. By separating clinical data from applications, you can transform healthcare using openEHR and FHIR standards. Take advantage of powerful low-code tools, a vendor-neutral data platform, and customisable user experience components.
*Based on internal evaluation and customer use cases.
The foundation for better care
Transform your organisation with a vendor-neutral health data core based on openEHR and FHIR standards, designed to unlock and unify data while ensuring the highest standards of security and privacy. With more than 30 million patient records stored, it is the biggest open data platform used globally.
The ODR separates clinical data from administrative and operational data to enhance privacy and streamline operations. Built on FHIR standards, it supports:
Master patient and provider registries (e.g., demographics, service catalogues).
Administrative data like appointments, encounters, and episodes of care.
“Single source of truth” for patient identity and organisational information.
Clinical data repository
The CDR is the core of the platform, storing structured health data in a vendor-neutral repository using openEHR archetypes and templates. This enables multi-language, multi-terminology, and cross-platform querying with AQL, providing a comprehensive, longitudinal view of patient records.
Supports structured and unstructured data.
Enables semantic interoperability for consistent data exchange across systems.
Built for patient care, clinical research, and care coordination use cases.
Unstructured data store
The UDS handles unstructured data such as clinical notes, multimedia (e.g., X-rays, CT scans), and scanned documents.
Acts as a “universal receiver,” capable of storing unstructured data in its original format alongside structured metadata.
References to unstructured data are stored in the CDR, maintaining a unified patient record.
Terminology server
The Terminology server ensures data consistency and integrity by supporting global and local terminologies such as SNOMED CT, ICD-10, LOINC, and more.
Provides a FHIR-compliant API for dynamic terminology validation and mapping.
Includes tools for translating and standardising codes across systems in real-time.
Integration services
The platform’s integration layer enables seamless data flow between diverse systems using:
openEHR APIs for structured data exchange.
HL7 V2, FHIR, and IHE integration for communication with legacy and modern systems.
Real-time message mapping and transformation to openEHR compositions.
Event-driven architecture
Powered by Apache Kafka, the event-driven architecture allows:
Real-time data streaming for notifications, live monitoring, and analytics.
Decoupled producers and consumers for high scalability and resilience.
Triggers for automated workflows based on specific conditions in stored data.
ETL and data views
ETL (Extract, Transform, Load): Flattens openEHR data into relational formats for business intelligence tools or advanced analytics.
Data views: Predefined queries that present EHR data in customisable formats, optimising resource use for clinical dashboards or reports.
Archetype designer and AQL builder
These tools empower clinicians and developers to build and query openEHR data models:
Archetype designer: Create and validate archetypes and templates with a user-friendly interface.
AQL builder: Simplify complex queries with auto-completion, validation, and debugging support.
Security and auditing services
Built-in security features protect sensitive health data:
Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) ensures fine-grained permissions.
Comprehensive audit logging tracks every system interaction.
Data encryption (AES-256) secures information at rest and in transit.
System health and scalability
The platform supports multi-tenancy, clustering, and sharding for high availability and scalability:
Monitor system health with tools like Nagios or Zabbix.
Deploy on Kubernetes for auto-scaling in cloud environments like Azure, AWS, or GCP.
Handles thousands of transactions per second with 99.99% uptime in clustered setups.
Advanced validation services
Ensure consistent, accurate, and compliant data with the Better Platform Advanced validation services:
Acts as a gateway to validate data across clinical, operational, and demographic repositories.
Validates based on business rules (e.g., patient demographics, history, or external APIs).
Centralises validation rules for easier management and better control of incoming data.
Low-code application development
Build clinical applications in hours, not months, with a healthcare specific low-code Studio.
Start from clinically validated openEHR and FHIR data models for instant interoperability and compliance.
Build applications with drag-and-drop tools, reducing development time by up to 90%.
Reuse modular components to speed up development and avoid starting from scratch.
Key highlights
