the night shifts.
We’re 3 physicians currently practicing in Portuguese public hospitals. We built the operational Healthcare Software Solutions we wished we had — for COOs and hospital administrators who know the problems we’re solving from the inside.

Public hospitals lose hours every day to friction that nobody measures.
Beds occupied by waiting, not by need
Patients ready for discharge stay admitted because coordination fails between teams and services. The bed shows as occupied. The next patient waits.
Processes that nobody can audit
When the JCI or DGS audit arrives, the information exists on paper, in people’s heads, or doesn’t exist at all. Weeks are lost reconstructing what should be live data.
Invisible waste that erodes budgets
Without process metrics, it’s impossible to know where the problem is — and impossible to justify investment to the board of directors.
Technology not built for medicine
Most tools come from outside healthcare and require adaptations that consume clinical team time. They solve generic problems, not clinical ones.
The two platforms with most traction
Developed from direct observation in 21+ hospitals. Active beta in Portugal.
Highest traction
Hospitals preparing for JCI or DGS audit spend weeks reconstructing process data that should exist in real time. LeanColab digitises operational flows, maps value streams, identifies measurable waste, and generates audit documentation automatically. Teams collaborate to crowdsource waste identification and solutions across the organisation — and simulate process changes before implementing them.

Lean Six Sigma analytics
The question “how many beds do we have available right now?” shouldn’t take 20 minutes to answer. WardControl gives the operations director a real-time command centre with AI agents — an ER Manager Agent that prioritises and detects bottlenecks, and a Chief Support Agent that manages patient flows and automates coordination. RFID and 6G integration feeds live location data directly into the dashboard. Decisions based on data, not phone calls.

Flow automation
Most clinical trials fail not because the science is wrong, but because the right patients never get recruited. Eligible4 generates high-quality referrals that reduce screening failures and dropout rates — AI matching connects the right patient to the right trial from the first contact, across a multi-centre network of participating hospitals.

Three founding physicians and a full-stack CTO.
The medical founders still do shifts, see patients, and feel the same pressures our clients feel. The CTO builds the technology to match that clinical precision. Insider clinical knowledge with full-stack engineering — that combination is our moat.
“We made over 20 visits to hospitals in Portugal, UK, Sweden, Spain and the US. The operational problems are the same everywhere. We decided to solve them.”
Built from the ground up for healthcare data protection.
No patient data, by design
Our platforms operate without processing Protected Health Information. Architecture designed from day one to eliminate PHI — not retrofit compliance after the fact.
US compliance-ready
Technical and administrative safeguards aligned with HIPAA requirements, supporting institutions with US partnerships or accreditation processes.
European data protection
Full alignment with GDPR requirements for data minimisation, purpose limitation, and subject rights — built for European healthcare institutions.
A 30-minute call with a founding physician.
No sales pitch. We want to understand whether the problems we solve are the problems you have — and whether it makes sense to move forward together.
