Nexus / HDC

NEXUS / HDC (formerly HD Clinical) is a specialist digital‑health technology company providing advanced clinical software solutions that improve patient outcomes and streamline healthcare workflows. Founded in 2005 by a team of clinicians, the company set out to create a more clinically‑driven alternative to traditional electronic patient record (EPR) systems. Instead of applying a “one‑size‑fits‑all” approach, HDC designed systems based on real departmental workflows and real‑world clinical data, resulting in significantly better engagement from clinicians and improved usability across healthcare settings.

In October 2024, HD Clinical was acquired by NEXUS AG, a leading European provider of hospital information systems and specialised diagnostic software (radiology, pathology, cardiology, ophthalmology and more). Following the acquisition, HD Clinical now operates within the NEXUS Group as NEXUS / HDC, retaining its UK base and continuing to scale its reach across the UK and Ireland.
