Case Study: Unimed Vale do Sinos modernizes patient care and hospital operations with Mendix

Unimed Vale Do Sinos delivers 5 apps in 2 months with Mendix

Unimed Vale do Sinos, a member of Brazil's largest healthcare cooperative network, faced significant challenges with a fragmented IT landscape consisting of disconnected tech stacks like Python, Node.js, and PHP. This led to slow development cycles, bottlenecks, and paper-based workflows that hindered patient care and operational efficiency. To overcome these issues, the organization adopted the Mendix enterprise low-code platform to unify its digital strategy and accelerate innovation.

By implementing Mendix, Unimed was able to deliver five applications with an average delivery time of just two months, a dramatic reduction from the previous six to eight months. The solutions built included a virtual clinic check-in and digital infirmary panels, which provided real-time clinical insights and modernized hospital operations. The vendor, Mendix, enabled Unimed to leverage 30 microservices, scale patient services, and achieve stronger governance, ultimately transforming how technology supports patient care.
