Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? Get in touch with our healthcare software experts to discuss your needs and next steps.

What types of healthcare organisations do you work with?

We work with hospitals, public healthcare bodies, national health services, clinics, research organisations, and digital health companies.

Can you modernise legacy hospital systems without disrupting day-to-day care?

Yes. Healthcare systems are typically modernised step by step through integrations, new interfaces, and phased replacement of legacy components.

Do you build healthcare software that is ready for EHDS, EEHRxF, and MyHealth@EU?

Yes. Our healthcare platforms are designed with European data exchange requirements in mind, including EHDS, EEHRxF, and cross-border care through MyHealth@EU. 

Can you integrate hospital systems with national e-health platforms, registries, and third-party providers?

Yes. We design and build integration layers, APIs, and connected platforms that help hospital systems exchange data securely with national services and external partners.

Can Helmes help us prepare healthcare AI solutions for high-risk regulatory requirements in the EU?

We can support the design and delivery of healthcare AI solutions in regulated environments shaped by the EU AI Act’s high-risk requirements.

Do you build platforms for both direct patient care and the secondary use of health data for research and public health?

Our teams build solutions for both care delivery and secondary use cases such as research, innovation, and public health, in line with the EHDS framework.

How does cooperation typically start?

Usually with a discovery discussion where we analyse your current systems and define the best approach to move forward.
