How Vaidyah compares

Against the three ways a small hospital runs its OPD today. Categories, not brand names: the point is the fit, not the fight.

When each is the right choice

Paper and Excel

A single doctor seeing a handful of patients a day, with no lab and no claims. When that changes, the paper starts to cost more than the software.

A general hospital system

A large hospital with inpatients, pharmacy stock, and an IT team to run modules. Vaidyah is not an IPD or inventory system in Release 1.

A dictation app

A doctor who wants notes typed for them and is happy to paste them elsewhere. It solves one person's problem; the OPD still runs on paper.

Vaidyah

A 20 to 150-bed hospital that wants the whole OPD, from the token to the bill, with the note written by a scribe and signed by the doctor, in Indian languages, at a price it can afford.
