TotalSoft develops a digital platform for the interconnection of laboratories and medical information systems

TotalSoft is developing a new generation of software platforms for laboratories and medical facilities, which integrate artificial intelligence, system interoperability and advanced data security, through a project co-funded by the European Union.

TotalSoft, one of the leading providers of business software solutions in Romania, announces the launch of the project “Development of an innovative LIS/HIS interoperability platform”, an investment that aims to modernize the way laboratories and medical units manage, process and use medical data.

The investment aims to develop a new generation of IT platforms for medical laboratories (LIS – Laboratory Information System), capable of communicating in real time with hospital and clinic information systems (HIS – Hospital Information System), laboratory equipment and other applications in the medical ecosystem.

From separate systems to connected medical data

In many healthcare organizations, information is still managed in different systems, which do not always communicate effectively with each other. This fragmentation can make it difficult to exchange data, generate additional manual operations and limit the use of information in the medical process. With the launched project, TotalSoft aims to overcome these limitations, through a modular, scalable and interoperable laboratory platform, ready for the integration of advanced technologies.

The new platform will include AI-based functionalities for data analysis and optimization of laboratory flows, as well as mechanisms to identify operational bottlenecks, estimate processing times and detect anomalies. In parallel, the solution will integrate international interoperability standards, such as HL7 and FHIR, to facilitate the secure exchange of information between laboratories, clinics, hospitals and other medical systems.

“One of the biggest challenges of innovation is to transform the accumulated expertise into solutions with real impact, used on a large scale. This is also our ambition: to capitalize on the experience gained in the digitalization of the medical sector to develop technologies that respond to concrete needs and have the potential for adoption on international markets. The European funding allows us to accelerate this investment and strengthen a strategic development area for TotalSoft”, said Gorkem Tursucu, CEO of TotalSoft.

Technology developed in Romania, with potential for European expansion

The project includes research, experimental development and validation of the new platform in relevant medical contexts. The desired result is a software solution capable of supporting complex laboratory flows, advanced analysis of biological and clinical data and secure integration with existing IT infrastructures.

An important role will be played by cybersecurity and data protection mechanisms, developed according to the security by design principle, as well as the responsible and auditable use of artificial intelligence. In order to validate the solution in real conditions, TotalSoft benefits from collaborations with medical service providers that will contribute to the testing and evaluation of the developed functionalities.

During the implementation, the results of the research and development will be presented at scientific conferences and specialized events. Through these initiatives, TotalSoft aims to facilitate knowledge exchange, strengthen collaborations with organizations in the medical field and create new opportunities for the adoption of the technologies developed within the project.
