Transforming healthcare IT with data-first low-code development
Jovan Pavićević
Wednesday May 21, 2025 13:00 - 13:15 Open Stage B10:61
English, On Site Only
In healthcare IT, innovation is a necessity, not a luxury. Traditional coding demands deep expertise and lengthy timelines, while low-code platforms often fall short in standardisation and interoperability. Enter the transformative data-first low-code approach—a paradigm that combines the speed of low-code development with the robustness of standardised data models like openEHR and FHIR.
Imagine building a clinical application in hours, not months, without sacrificing compliance or functionality. This approach is all about pre-built, clinically verified data models that embed domain knowledge directly into the development process. The result? Faster, interoperable, and cost-effective healthcare solutions.
At Vitalis 2025, Jovan Pavićević, Chief Growth Officer at Better, will demonstrate how this methodology is revolutionising healthcare IT. He will show how this approach works all the way from national-level shared care records to application development in clinics of all sizes all over the world. Learn about how low-code tools empower developers, clinicians, and analysts to collaboratively create future-ready healthcare applications.
Join the session to explore how data-first low-code development delivers standardisation, accelerates innovation, and lowers costs—redefining what’s possible in healthcare IT.
