SVIDA Company History
SVIDA Pty Ltd was spawned from a software development company that had been delivering retail pharmacy and specialised in drug information solutions for the past 33 years. The core team including pharmacists and doctors has been involved in a number of global projects covering a variety of markets and health sectors. Our key expertise ranges from clinical workflow and best practice through to shared electronic health records, encryption, standards, and terminologies. Drawing on this knowledge and expertise, SVIDA has developed a suite of products designed specifically for low-skilled use and rapid deployment that are aimed at closing the loop between doctors, pharmacists, nurses, carers, and their patients.
