Medical Publishing Solutions

Introduction

Our medical publishing solutions are designed for medical societies, clinics, research institutions, and anyone who needs to efficiently and securely publish medical guidelines, SOPs, or documentation. We offer a holistic approach that relieves authors, editors, and IT alike, ensuring maximum efficiency.

Effortless Creation of Medical Publications

Write your content as usual in Microsoft Word (DOCX). Our solution automatically converts your documents to the industry standard XML and back. This keeps the author workflow simple and familiar, while leveraging all the benefits of a structured, media-neutral format in the background.

Productivity Through Simple Workflows

Our platform enables you to quickly capture, revise, and publish medical content. Automatic conversion between DOCX and XML ensures a smooth process. Authors can focus on content while technical complexity remains in the background.

Single-Source Publishing & Multi-Channel Output

Thanks to the XML standard, you can publish your content from a single source to all desired formats and channels: web, PDF, print, apps, or medical information systems. This reduces redundancy, minimizes errors, and significantly accelerates publication.

Technology & Integration

XML as the foundation: All content is converted to XML, from which all target formats (HTML, PDF, EPUB, app, print) are generated.
DOCX ↔ XML: Authors continue to work in Word; the platform handles lossless conversion to and from XML.
Plone CMS: Central content management system for storage, versioning, permissions, and workflow.
PDF Generation: High-quality PDFs with professional layout, barcodes, forms, metadata, multilingual content, and more.
Integration: Connections to third-party systems, apps, medical information systems, and cloud services.
Open platform: No vendor lock-in, open standards, open-source components, transparent pricing.

Use Cases

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

SOPs are standardized, binding descriptions of processes. Our solution supports structured capture, versioning, and publication of SOPs—ideal for quality management and regulatory requirements.

Guidelines

The creation and maintenance of medical guidelines is greatly simplified and accelerated by automated workflows, XML structuring, and multi-channel output.

Specialist Applications & Apps

We develop custom apps for iOS and Android, manage releases, and integrate with existing systems. Content is centrally managed and distributed to apps.

Documentation

Medical documentation is made as simple as possible, yet remains structured, findable, and audit-proof. We tailor the solution to your processes and requirements.
