Instead of connecting every device individually, it creates a single data-ingestion layer: computer vision captures readings directly from supported device screens, while one API delivers them as structured data to the connected platform.  - [Customer Success Specialist](https://www.better.care/job/customer-success-specialist/): Customer support - [Better Studio 3.17: Meet Bea, expanded user management, and Marketplace suggestions ](https://www.better.care/blog-en/better-studio-3-17-release-information/): First and foremost, in our objective to unify all AI capabilities within Studio, we’ve given the AQL assistant a name: Bea.  - [Connected and safe with Better Meds 3.20](https://www.better.care/blog-en/connected-and-safe-with-better-meds-3-20/): With Better Meds 3.20, we've continued to strengthen these connected workflows. This release introduces support for Mental Health Act consent forms, expands the capabilities of Meds Mobile, improves visibility of conflicts across drug dictionary versions, and enhances interoperability through new FHIR APIs, all helping clinicians work more safely and efficiently within a single platform. - [Technical Lead](https://www.better.care/job/technical-lead/): Engineering - [“UX isn’t work you do to be seen, you do it because the problem is worth solving”](https://www.better.care/better-people/ux-isnt-work-you-do-to-be-seen-you-do-it-because-the-problem-is-worth-solving/): “What people get wrong about the designer's role is that it looks like it's all about interfaces. It isn't. We have to understand the changes it brings to how people work, how they decide, and how they cope when something goes wrong,” said Tadej Maligoj. - [Better Design System 2.2.0: Full token coverage and new navigation components](https://www.better.care/blog-en/better-design-system-2-2-0/): Healthcare applications need consistent, adaptable interfaces. BDS 2.2.0 delivers on both fronts: Full design token coverage across every component, and two new structural components, Top bar and Side navigation, that give teams the building blocks for complete application layouts. - [Why your spirometry results belong in your EHR](https://www.better.care/blog-en/why-spirometry-results-belong-in-ehr/): Every day, healthcare organisations generate valuable respiratory data through spirometry testing, and too much of it still ends up as PDFs, scanned reports, or files trapped inside device software. PDFs do have a place. For a one-off occupational health test or a referral attachment, a document may be perfectly adequate. The trouble starts when the next result arrives six months later, then another year after that, and someone has to reconstruct the patient’s trajectory by opening old reports one by one.  - [From voice documentation to structured clinical data with Anamedi ](https://www.better.care/blog-en/voice-documentation-in-healthcare-anamedi/): Most voice documentation tools focus on transcription. While transcription can reduce the administrative effort, it often still leaves clinicians with the task of reviewing, structuring, and entering information into clinical systems.  - [How conversational interoperability completes EHDS ](https://www.better.care/blog-en/ehds-interoperability-clinical-usability/): For EHDS interoperability specifically, this is not just a technical detail, it is a sovereignty and procurement consequence. A cross-border European system where data residency, supply-chain risk, and confidentiality are first-order concerns cannot quietly assume that every conversational query will be routed to a single US-hosted frontier model. Some buyers will not permit it, some jurisdictions cannot, and some scenarios in paediatrics, mental health, and sensitive research cohorts will demand a different posture.  - [Building a scalable digital foundation for Indonesian healthcare ](https://www.better.care/blog-en/building-a-scalable-digital-foundation-for-indonesian-healthcare-2/): For this year’s Mission magazine, we talked to Ricky Gunawan, Director at PT Daya Medika Pratama, who explained how the partnership between Daya Medika Pratama and Better has evolved into a joint effort to deliver AFYA Better, a modern, openEHR-based hospital information system tailored to the realities of Indonesian healthcare.

Terminology authors, clinical informaticists, and implementation teams can now build and maintain code systems and value sets, without stepping outside the Studio environment.  - [“Even technical topics become meaningful when framed around what matters most to people”](https://www.better.care/better-people/even-technical-topics-become-meaningful-when-framed-around-what-matters-most-to-people/): “Nothing about healthcare, digital or not, works in isolation. Some of the most valuable conversations happen when people share practical experiences, challenges, and lessons learned,” said Veronika Stepanova.  - [EHDS implementation: From policy to practice ](https://www.better.care/blog-en/ehds-implementation-policy-practice/): Semantic quality is not an enhancement layered on top of EHDS implementation. It is the condition that determines whether EHDS delivers meaningful value at all.  - [“Varutis and Better partnership brings openEHR closer to the hospitals](https://www.better.care/blog-en/varutis-and-better-partnership-brings-openehr-closer-to-the-hospitals/): We sat down with Evaldas Dobravolskas, CEO of Varutis, for this year’s edition of Mission, and talked about why openEHR became a strategic choice, what early implementations at Šiauliai and Klaipeda University Hospital are teaching them, and how this partnership could shape the future of healthcare data in Lithuania and beyond.   - [Making remote patient monitoring work with MedCor4U ](https://www.better.care/blog-en/remote-patient-monitoring-with-medcor4u/): Remote patient monitoring was supposed to solve this. Instead, data is collected but rarely used where it matters. Without direct integration into their existing clinical workflows, even accurate and consistent measurements fail to support timely intervention or confident decision-making. - [“If done right, EHDS could be a pretty big shift for healthcare in Europe”](https://www.better.care/better-people/if-done-right-ehds-could-be-a-pretty-big-shift-for-healthcare-in-europe/): “If EHDS really delivers on what it promises, it will be about patient-first thinking, giving people more control over their own data, and making sure it actually flows when and where it’s needed,” is what Samo Drnovšek told us about the latest European data project. - [Trust in every form: Digitising consent forms with Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and Better Meds](https://www.better.care/blog-en/digital-consent-in-healthcare-nhs/): Now that their digitalisation is complete, T2 forms are created within the Better Meds system by the responsible clinician. T3 forms, once received from the CQC, are transcribed into the system by the responsible clinician or a nominated junior doctor. Digital consent forms are now directly linked to prescriptions, providing real-time decision support directly at the point of prescribing. High-level override warnings flag prescribing outside authorised treatment, and the relevant T2 or T3 form is clearly identified on the MAR chart. Staff can complete audits, reporting, and essential checks more efficiently and accurately, directly reducing clinical risk.  - [Technical Product Specialist](https://www.better.care/job/technical-product-specialist/): Product management - [Better Studio 3.15: ETL, BDS renderer, 2FA, and a redesigned navigation experience](https://www.better.care/blog-en/better-studio-3-15-etl-2fa/): Extract, transform, load (ETL) is now available directly inside Studio. For teams that need to move and reshape data as part of their clinical application workflows, this tool removes the need to step outside the Studio environment to configure pipelines. - [On-premise AI clinical documentation: meet ClioAssist](https://www.better.care/blog-en/ai-clinical-documentation-clioassist/): To help address both challenges, Better Marketplace now features ClioAssist, an on-premise AI clinical documentation solution designed to reduce administrative burden while keeping sensitive patient data securely under local control. - [Tieto Caretech, x-tention, and Better announce strategic partnership](https://www.better.care/news/tieto-caretech-x-tention-and-better-announce-strategic-partnership/): Together, Tieto Caretech, x‑tention, and Better are equipping healthcare providers to innovate on their own terms, respond faster to regulatory and technological change, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for both patients and healthcare professionals. - [EHDS standards explained: what interoperability actually requires](https://www.better.care/blog-en/ehds-standards-explained-interoperability/): Although FHIR profiles were validated, bundles exchanged, and transactions completed successfully, what happens next is rarely examined. And somewhere on the receiving end, a clinical data model absorbed that bundle, flattened it into a proprietary schema, and the semantic richness that took a clinical informaticist weeks to encode quietly disappeared. - [Vitalis 2026](https://www.better.care/event/vitalis-2026/): WHERE - [Making AI speak clinical codes: Grounding terminology with FHIR and MCP ](https://www.better.care/blog-en/clinical-coding-ai-hallucinations-fhir/): Clinical coding is an unforgiving use case for AI. Unlike conversational tasks, it requires returning exact identifiers from internationally controlled vocabularies such as SNOMED CT, ICD-10, LOINC or specific national or hospital level classifications.  - [“openEHR fundamentally redefines how clinical data is stored and managed”](https://www.better.care/blog-en/openehr-fundamentally-redefines-how-clinical-data-is-stored-and-managed/): As France sets out on a mission of transforming its healthcare system, we sat down with Dominique Pon, Managing Director of La Poste Santé & Autonomie, for an interview in our Mission magazine. He shared with us their vision, explained the reasons for the shift in France’s mindset, and also mentioned their collaboration with Better.  - [“Good UX can’t be designed in a vacuum; it must be researched first.” ](https://www.better.care/better-people/good-ux-cant-be-designed-in-a-vacuum-it-must-be-researched-first/): "There's something really motivating about working on a product that empowers clinical staff to digitise their own workflows, build their own applications, and be actively involved in shaping the tech they use every day," is what Maruša Hrobat told us about her work. - [Data that drives care: DaVita transforming kidney care](https://www.better.care/blog-en/data-that-drives-care-davita-transforming-kidney-care/): We spoke with Partha Das, International Chief Medical Officer at DaVita, about why the openEHR model was the pragmatic solution, how the unified data layer is already transforming quality and decision-making, and what Phase 2 of their programme means for the future of data-driven kidney care around the world.  - [“The biggest turning point has been seeing trusts view digital platforms as enablers” ](https://www.better.care/blog-en/the-biggest-turning-point-has-been-seeing-trusts-view-digital-platforms-as-enablers/): What are your priorities and aspirations for the coming year, and how will they help shape the future of digital healthcare?   - [“We want to shape the future of digital healthcare in the DACH region” ](https://www.better.care/blog-en/we-want-to-shape-the-future-of-digital-healthcare-in-the-dach-region/): In this interview, Torsten Barthel, Sales Director for Better Deutschland GmbH, reflected on the key developments that shaped 2025, from expanding partner ecosystems to the introduction of the “Open Health Platform” together with our partners Tieto and x-tention.

What started with simple bedside glucose testing has expanded into a wide range of near-patient diagnostics used in wards, emergency departments, outpatient clinics, and community settings.  - [Meds Mobile in action](https://www.better.care/blog-en/meds-mobile-in-action/): Healthcare delivery is evolving, and medication management should follow. Care is delivered not only on hospital wards, but also in patients’ homes, across community services, and through models such as hospital-at-home or outpatient therapy programmes. To bridge these shifting environments, Meds Mobile serves as the essential link to support and enable a seamless transition in care. - [Somerset NHS Foundation Trust: Digitising inpatient diabetes care with Better Studio](https://www.better.care/case-study/nhs-inpatient-diabetes-care/): What followed was remarkable. A single developer working without external contractors built 3 clinical forms and a live glucose dashboard for inpatient diabetes care in just 8 weeks. Automated safety alerts now guide nurses at the bedside. Lab results pull through from hospital systems automatically. And the data, structured from day one on openEHR, is ready to be reused across care settings. - [EHDS: Europe’s next big healthcare moment and why platforms will lead it  ](https://www.better.care/blog-en/ehds-infrastructure-platforms/): This ambitious goal highlights the need for national EHDS infrastructure capable of connecting diverse health systems into a coherent data backbone. - [“The main healthcare trend will remain around implementing a more patient-centred care”](https://www.better.care/blog-en/eu-healthcare-trends-patient-centred-care/): When it comes to technology, we cannot ignore AI. The main healthcare trend will remain around implementing a more patient-centred care, which starts already with wellness and wellbeing, prevention and continues with chronic care management and more connected care at the regional and national level. For both trends, having quality and structured data will be key. Better Platform with new planned upgrades will be able to support the different AI projects and solutions, and with our existing product and solution portfolio, we are already ahead of the competition when it comes to offering regional solutions for a more connected care.    - [Better Design System 2.0.0: Strengthening the foundation](https://www.better.care/blog-en/better-design-system-2-0-0-strengthening-the-foundation/): We're building a design system that grows with your needs.

Retrieving data from openEHR repositories requires the use of Archetype Query Language (AQL), a powerful yet complex querying language. Mastery of AQL involves understanding its syntax, grammar, and the underlying openEHR clinical models, which creates significant usability challenges. Typically, AQL queries are manually crafted, a process demanding substantial time, expertise and familiarity with clinical archetypes. Although semi-automated approaches with autocomplete functionality exist, they only partially alleviate the complexities associated with query formulation. Text2AQL addresses this gap. - [Rewired 2026](https://www.better.care/event/rewired-2026/): WHERE - [The evolution of Shared Care Records](https://www.better.care/blog-en/the-evolution-of-shared-care-records/): Our journey closely mirrors the broader maturation of Shared Care Records as a concept. We started with implementations focused on sharing clinical documents across organisational boundaries, addressing the most basic problem of information silos. Over time, these programmes progressed towards structured, longitudinal records capable of supporting collaboration across primary, secondary, community, and social care. More recently, we have been involved in deploying SCRs as national platforms, enabling multiple applications and services to operate on top of a common, vendor-neutral data foundation. - [Better Mission: Shared Care Record](https://www.better.care/document/better-mission-shared-care-record/): Healthcare is evolving, and digital technology is at the heart of this change.
