Healthcare software development
Less waiting, less paperwork, and care that reaches patients where they are.
Telemedicine, AI pre-consultation, booking and payments, in-hospital monitoring. We build systems for Japanese clinics, hospitals and healthcare companies that cut the workload on staff while protecting patient data.

- AI pre-consultation with EHR integration
- ISO 27001 information security
Sound familiar?
The challenges companies in this industry bring to us most often.
The waiting room is always full
Bookings come in by phone, check-in and payment take time, and patient satisfaction is slipping.
Intake forms and records crowd out care
Copying paper questionnaires into the electronic health record eats up doctors' and staff's time.
Patients who cannot come in still need care
You want to offer online consultations, but nothing connects video, payment and prescriptions.
Hygiene and patient checks rely on staff
Checking hand-washing compliance and watching for patients leaving their beds puts a heavy load on staff.
No time for staff training
You want staff to keep learning infection control and care skills, but finding the time and trainers for classroom sessions is hard.
Handing patient data to a vendor feels risky
If a partner will hold personal and clinical data, you need to know how they protect it.
What we build
We learn how your business works first, then build only what you actually need.
Telemedicine
Video consultations, online payment, e-prescriptions sent straight to the pharmacy: the whole remote care journey in one place.
AI pre-consultation and EHR integration
Patients answer by chat or voice before the visit. AI asks follow-up questions and prepares a summary for the doctor, ready to pass to the EHR.
Booking, check-in and payment
Booking across multiple clinics, scheduling that keeps waits short, LINE integration and online payment of consultation fees.
AI cameras and patient monitoring
Automatic hand-washing and disinfection checks, bed-exit detection with alerts to the nurses' station, and faces blurred automatically to protect privacy.
Health management apps
Daily health check-ins, chat and automatic reports that help organisations and individuals manage health.
Medical and care training
Game-based infection-control learning, operation of a video training service for welfare and home care, and learning systems for medical students.
Case studies
A selection of projects we have delivered. Clients are described by industry only, under our confidentiality agreements.
Telemedicine and e-prescription platform
- Challenge
- Give patients who struggle to visit a hospital a fully online experience, from consultation to receiving their medicine.
- What we did
- We are building, across web and mobile, high-quality video consultations, card and QR-code payment, automatic e-prescriptions sent to a nearby pharmacy, and identity checks using the My Number Card.
- Technology
-
- AWS (Chime SDK)
- Node.js (TypeScript)
- Next.js
- Flutter
- PostgreSQL
ResultDesigned to deliver consultation, payment, prescription and identity check in a single service.
AI pre-consultation and booking optimisation for clinics
- Challenge
- Filling in and re-typing questionnaires, plus long waits at busy times, were a burden on patients and staff alike.
- What we did
- Patients complete a pre-consultation by chat or voice while AI analyses their answers in real time and asks for missing details such as onset and pain level. AI then summarises everything for the doctor in a form ready for EHR integration. Automatic scheduling keeps waits short, with LINE integration.
- Technology
-
- AWS
- Laravel
- Next.js
- Python (scikit-learn)
- OpenAI API (Whisper / GPT-4)
- MySQL
ResultThe aim: intake done before arrival, so the doctor reads the summary and starts the consultation straight away.
AI cameras for hospital operations and safety
- Challenge
- Hand-washing and disinfection compliance had to be checked to prevent infections, but 24-hour human monitoring was impossible, and filming wards raised patient privacy concerns.
- What we did
- AI analyses camera footage in real time. It checks hand-washing and disinfection and raises an alert when a step is missed, and detects patients leaving their bed or the ward and notifies the nurses' station immediately. Patients' faces are blurred automatically in real time.
- Technology
-
- AWS (Kinesis Video Streams, SageMaker)
- Python (PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV)
- Laravel
- React
- Flutter
ResultHygiene checks and patient monitoring that relied on people are now automated, without compromising patient privacy.
Hospital and clinic booking and payment service
- Challenge
- Make it easier for patients to find a clinic, book and pay.
- What we did
- A web service and mobile apps for searching and booking across many hospitals and clinics, including payment of consultation fees, reviews and route guidance.
- Technology
-
- Laravel
- React
- React Native
- AWS
- MySQL
ResultBooking to payment, all in the app. We also ran maintenance after launch.
Health management and communication app for organisations
- Challenge
- During the pandemic, organisations urgently needed to track members' health every day and reach them quickly if something was wrong.
- What we did
- Using agile development, we quickly built web and mobile apps where a daily health report takes a few taps, with chat between the organisation and members and between members.
- Technology
-
- Laravel
- Nuxt.js
- Flutter
- Firebase
- AWS
ResultReleased on a tight deadline, then maintained and improved for about three years.
Infection-control training tools (hand-washing scoring, game-based learning)
- Challenge
- Help staff learn infection control and proper hand-washing in an engaging way, and make each facility's level visible.
- What we did
- A tool that scores hand-washing results and ranks each facility, plus a board-game style tool for learning infection control through play, on web and mobile.
- Technology
-
- Laravel
- Nuxt.js (TypeScript)
- Flutter
- AWS
- MySQL
ResultWe have run and maintained both since 2023.
Why Digi Dinos
150+ projects delivered
Since 2018 we have delivered more than 150 projects, from web systems and mobile apps to AI and blockchain.
Japanese staff on your project
Japanese staff take part directly in meetings and correspondence. Together with our Japanese-speaking bridge SEs and IT communicators (comtors), documents and day-to-day chat are handled in Japanese. We also have an office in Yokohama.
Offshore cost advantage
Our development team in Hanoi, Vietnam lets us keep quality high while costing less than building the same team in Japan.
ISO 27001 information security
We are certified to ISO/IEC 27001, the international standard for information security, so projects handling personal or confidential data follow defined rules.
Strong in AI and data
We have extensive experience building AI into real operations: generative AI (large language models), computer vision and demand forecasting.
From build to long-term support
Launch is not the end. The same team stays on for maintenance and improvement, and many clients have worked with us for years.

Frequently asked questions
- Is medical data safe with you?
- We are certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and develop under rules covering access control, encryption of data in transit and at rest, and restricted access to production data. We plan requirements around the standards you must meet, such as the Japanese Ministry of Health guidelines.
- Can you integrate with the EHR we already use?
- Integration methods differ by product, so we first review its specification, then propose how and how far to integrate. In the AI pre-consultation project, the summary output is designed for EHR integration.
- Can we start small, for example with just a booking system?
- Yes. We recommend starting with the minimum set of features and expanding as you see how it is used.
- How long does development take?
- It depends on scope, but our healthcare projects have typically taken 3 to 12 months. If time is short, we can release the most important features first.
- Can we work with you in Japanese?
- Yes. Japanese staff take part directly in meetings and correspondence, and together with our Japanese-speaking bridge SEs and communicators, documents and chat are all handled in Japanese. We also have an office in Yokohama for face-to-face meetings when needed.
- How much does it cost?
- It depends heavily on the features and the scale. Because we work with our team in Vietnam, costs are usually lower than building the same team in Japan. Start with a free consultation and we will propose a rough estimate and an approach.
