I had a cold. I went to a few clinics. What I noticed wasn’t the medicine — it was the operations. Everyone in the clinic, from the receptionist to the nurse to the doctor, was doing an enormous amount of manual work: paper-shuffling, re-entering the same information, handwriting prescriptions, calling people to remind them about appointments. The few software products available for clinics were either priced for hospital chains or were ERP monoliths nobody wanted to use. I built Medicade as the clinic-scale alternative.
What it covers
Full multi-tenant architecture, so multiple clinics onboard independently with their own admins, staff, doctors, nurses, and patients. Role-based flows: super-admin, clinic admin, receptionist, nurse, doctor, patient. Patients can book online or walk in. The queue handles both. Tele-consultation is integrated as a first-class option alongside in-person visits. Payments run through Stripe.
The AI prescription layer
The thing I wanted to get right was the prescription write-up. During a visit, the doctor has enough going on without also being a data-entry clerk. Medicade captures the session context — complaint, observations, patient history — and auto-drafts the prescription against an internal medicine database. The doctor reviews, edits where needed, signs off. What used to be minutes of handwriting per patient becomes seconds of review. The backend database also underpinned a drug–drug interaction layer we were building toward — flagging likely-problematic combinations at the point of prescription rather than the pharmacy.
Status
Ran through an MVP with real user flows. Now discontinued.
