Cloud SaaS Healthcare and Medical Software Developed by Blitzm Systems

MPS + Blitzm = Medical Software Engineering

Blitzm was engaged by MPS to develop the Medisphere application, a complete mobile and cloud SaaS used by nurses to administer medication to patients. MPS delivers medication products and services to pharmacies, aged care providers, and individuals across Australia. Their services include medication packing and distribution, medication management, and dose administration.

Improving care through technology

MediSphere is a modern and industry-leading medication administration and resident management system, which offers a pioneering approach to ensure compliance with government regulations following the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. MPS identified the findings from the Royal Commission as an opportunity to innovate and create an application that would help them to deliver the best possible care in the industry.

A cloud-based system with offline functionality

MediSphere places patients at the center of their care, improving patient dignity and quality of life while making dose administration safer.
