Our story

It all began in the busy environment of a Trauma and Orthopaedic (T&O) department…

On what seemed like just another morning, our founder, Harry Lykostratis, arrived at the clinic only to find that all the critical patient information for the day's surgeries had been wiped from the department's only record—a whiteboard.

As fate would have it, Harry had extensive experience in software development. In his determination to prevent this from ever happening again, he combined his medical expertise with his passion for software development to create Pathpoint eTrauma.

What started as a free digital trauma management platform for a few departments quickly became a must-have software for T&O departments across the country, marking the beginning of Open Medical.

As we expanded, it became clear that the challenges faced by the T&O departments were not unique. Healthcare professionals across different departments struggled with outdated methods like paper records, cumbersome documents, error-prone spreadsheets, and not to mention, unreliable whiteboards. So by leveraging our Pathpoint platform, we developed tailored solutions for various specialties, including dermatology, preoperative and perioperative care, maternity, oncology, and a whole lot more.

Our mission

We are a team of clinician-led digital health experts, founded and led by practising NHS clinicians, creating multi-award-winning, cloud-based software solutions. Our mission is to achieve sustainable healthcare for everyone through digital excellence.

Sustainable healthcare is not just about being environmentally friendly (though that’s definitely part of it… check out our sustainability work!); we're also talking about creating a healthcare system that is built to last.

Throughout our journey, we've seen how healthcare providers all over the world struggle with inefficient and outdated processes because they don't have the right digital infrastructure.

So we develop solutions that provide strong digital foundations healthcare organisations can rely on today, tomorrow, and for years to come. We’re not just here to solve today’s problems—we’re preparing for the future.

Ultimately, everything we do is about adding value to healthcare. We work closely with care providers to understand their ways of working so we can deliver products that make a real difference. We also have a patient and public involvement committee to ensure our solutions benefit everyone.

The results are clinical workflows and care pathways that work for the healthcare demands of today and that translate to efficiency gains, cost savings, reductions in carbon emissions, and a better overall experience for providers. More than anything, it empowers clinicians to deliver the best possible care to their patients.

Every step we take is a step towards a more sustainable healthcare system, and every lesson we learn is an opportunity to further improve care services. We're lifelong learners in a relentless pursuit for excellence, constantly pushing boundaries to deliver lasting value to healthcare.
