Having worked on a MVP for a healthcare company in Europe I can tell you that the users are not looking for better solutions. The doctors I worked with wanted a better pencil not some fancy solution. In our case it was improved traceability of medical implants and one doctor, when asked in private, told me that the current status quo suites them fine as it allows for more creative answers when the sh*t hits the fan. After that meeting I decided that the healthcare business was not the most healthy to work with.
- Damorian 6y agoAgreed, but this is slowly changing. Of the doctors/nurses I've worked with (hundreds at this point), I'd say only half of them know how to type. The younger docs though, they can be real power users. Europe is notable in how low tech they can be, which is why they've been the biggest new market in recent years for a lot of health IT companies. The idea of a hospital system doing all of their charting on paper is unheard of in the US, but there's still plenty of places doing that in Europe.
- dogma1138 6y agoHealthcare in Europe is weird you end up with a lot of parallel systems, all healthcare data in Europe have to be digitized and there is a standard for digital EU healthcare records including mandated interoperability between all providers in various member states. Even within the same healthcare system you can have drastic differences and a layer that sorts (or tries too) the entire mess out.
