The Slovenian technology company nyd for healthcare digitization is entering the Croatian market. They are currently finalizing agreements with the first set of healthcare collaborators and partners from Croatia.

– We will start with free remote video consultations with healthcare professionals on the first of June! All doctors, dentists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and other professionals can join us and offer their hour a week for free consultations to those in need – say the founders of the nyd.care project Aljoša Praznik, Klemen Rupnik, and Boštjan Antolič, who are building the healthcare system of the future.

The healthcare model as we know it is becoming increasingly unfeasible. Therefore, as in other industries, the healthcare system should be improved to enhance the availability and quality of services, and digitization plays a key role in providing better healthcare services to the wider public and those who need it most, explain the team at nyd.

– We would like to prove that video consultation is even more effective than visiting a doctor or another medical professional in their practice. We would connect experts and users or patients via computer or mobile device – explain the founders. In any case, the service they provide will likely reduce the panic ‘googling’ of symptoms and self-diagnosis based on unverified sources of information, which can lead to untimely treatment of issues.

The nyd.care platform is designed so that an appointment for a free 15-minute video consultation with a preferred expert can be booked on their site. Before this virtual meeting, a questionnaire is filled out to make the consultation time as effective as possible.

– In the future, the healthcare system will look completely different as it will be built around the user. This means that you will be able to participate more in the treatment of your health or the health condition of a family member. The place of delivery from the clinic or hospital to your home will change, as will the treatment from "diagnosis-based diagnosis" to "prevention and control." We are preparing new solutions that will provide you with a better experience in accessing healthcare services. With greater security and efficiency and with users in the foreground – explained the Slovenians who are preparing to introduce digital innovation into the Croatian healthcare system, and they will also be assisted by specialists from Croatia.
