The About You app has been developed by BiMind, a healthcare-focused technology company from Italy’s Marche region. Like so many other communities, the Marche Region is learning to live alongside the ever-present risk of coronavirus infection while continuing to support its people and their medical needs. Thanks to this new digital app, accessed via smartphone or tablet: Marche health teams can continue clinical care after patient discharge; health workers can monitor patient progress, access patient data, and continuously update the clinical picture; while patients and home caregivers have the support and reassurance of direct, on-demand access to their medical and nursing teams.

And looking beyond the current pandemic, About You seems set to play an important role in the remote care of clinically vulnerable groups. About You can access and share digital medical records, the app can integrate with any hospital information system, and its Bluetooth interface can maintain vital connectivity with personal monitoring systems. And at system level, this app’s ease of use, multi-database compatibility and cross-platform operability bear all the hallmarks of its Omnis Studio platform origins and philosophy: create the app once and let the legendary Omnis flexibility distribute it across multiple platforms.

“During the Covid-19 lockdown period we had to implement an application to support general practitioners  within a very short time. We therefore had to choose a technology that would enable us to achieve a high level of development performance while ensuring high standards of maintainability and possible further development. We decided that Omnis was the right tool for this project,” explained Maurizio Vico, Head of Development BiMind Srl. “Certainly speed of development and maintainability were the two key reasons for us to choose Omnis Studio rather than one of the many other mobile app development tools.”

BiMind and Softpi partnership  
BiMind’s contribution to About You is backed by two decades of experience and a core business solidly focused on the healthcare sector. The company’s expertise and dedicated health solutions are widely used across Italy and beyond, at least in part because of BiMind’s strong commitment to ethical practice and strict quality controls.

As exclusive Italian distributors of the Omnis Studio platform, Tuscan-based Softpi are well placed to recognise the About You app’s potential as an innovative digital healthcare solution whose time has come. Furthermore, their distribution experience, spanning databases, development environments, integration, business intelligence and storage management products makes Softpi an ideal collaborative partner.
