HD Clinical Ltd. has been acquired by NEXUS AG

October 2024 — NEXUS AG has acquired HD Clinical Ltd. Through this acquisition, NEXUS has gained a recognized and internationally active team of experts in structured diagnostic reporting and image processing. This will provide new regional access, strengthening its strong European market position in software, particularly for internal medicine.

HD Clinical was founded in 2005 by a group of clinicians to build an electronic clinical record system starting from departmental requirements and delivering management data derived from real-world patient information. This was a departure from the historic top-down approach of electronic patient record (EPR) systems, which were essentially upgraded patient administration systems with ‘one-size-fits-all’ clinical functionality bolted on. For 17 years, HD Clinical has been delivering digital clinical solutions to healthcare organizations around the world. The company’s solutions are used by 146 organizations across the globe, joining up healthcare organizations and hospital departments to improve the patient experience. The HD Clinical approach is designed to capture maximum engagement from clinical teams by meeting their needs and recognizing the specific requirements of each specialty. Their software and hardware are designed by their in-house team in the HD Clinical UK office.

Nexus AG provides innovative software solutions that allow users at healthcare facilities to focus on what really matters. Their goal is to offer all departments in hospitals, psychiatric wards and rehabilitation and residential institutions the best solution to the challenges they face every day.
