ABOUT US
Medisoft is the UK’s leading provider of software for hospital ophthalmology services and private eye clinics. Our flagship Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system, mediSIGHT, is used routinely by around 130 organisations worldwide to help clinical teams assess vision defects and save sight.
The routine recording of rich structured data within our EMR software allows for anonymised data extracts from multiple centres to be combined for statistical analysis to support retrospective observational data studies. These multi-centre datasets provide robust and valuable real-world evidence, resulting in improved care and outcomes for patients.
