Innovation That Starts at the Bedside

The collaboration began with a simple but powerful premise: what if digital tools were designed not just for healthcare providers, but with them? At UZ Brussel, emergency physicians and nurses are not passive recipients of technology,they are co-designers. Their daily experiences, frustrations, and insights form the blueprint for every feature, every workflow, and every interface. And trust us when we can witness their eagerness to be heard.

Their enthusiasm and this approach ensures that the solutions being developed are not only clinically relevant, but also intuitive, efficient, and grounded in the realities of acute care. It’s a model that values listening as much as building. And this is were Branka's team comes in.

Branka's scoping: Translating Clinical Insight into Scalable Solutions

Branka and her team are not a typical tech company. As a small, focused team, they specialize in end-to-end development,but with a difference.

“Our mission begins not with code, but with listening. Too often, technology is introduced into healthcare as a ready-made solution, only to become part of the problem. Interfaces that don’t fit workflows. Tools that add friction instead of removing it. Systems that speak a different language than the people who use them. We actively work to avoid this trap. Our approach is grounded in the belief that good technology starts with good scoping. That means spending time in the field, understanding the day-to-day realities of healthcare providers, and identifying the real pain points before proposing any solution. “ - Branka Mitrovikj,

They don’t just build for users, they build with them.

This philosophy is evident in every step of their collaboration with UZ Brussel. From early sketches to working prototypes, every iteration is shaped by direct feedback from clinicians. The result is not only a better product, but a better process, one that respects the expertise of healthcare professionals and turns their insights into scalable, sustainable digital tools.

A Shared Vision for the Future of Care

What unites UZ Brussel and Branka's team is a shared belief in the power of connected care. Both partners see digital tools not as ends in themselves, but as enablers of better communication, safer handovers, and more responsive care pathways. This goes beyond the organizations, and the technology.

Together, we aim to build platforms that support emergency nurses in the field, streamline data exchange between ambulances and hospitals, and align clinical protocols across institutions. But more importantly, they are building trust, between disciplines, between institutions, and between people.

Why This Collaboration Matters

In a healthcare landscape often dominated by top-down solutions, this partnership offers a different model: one that starts with the user, values the expertise of caregivers, and treats technology as a tool for empowerment rather than disruption.

It’s a model that others can learn from, and one that we at CEDIMED Brussels are proud to support.
