Hero Health provides powerful interoperability solutions designed to seamlessly integrate with NHS systems like EMIS and TPP. Whether you're looking for ready-made UI components or a fully custom API, Hero offers flexible options to enhance your digital health product.
Two approaches to integration
Hero Health offers two key interoperability options:
Hero Elements – Pre-built, embeddable UI components that allow you to add patient messaging, scheduling, and workflow management features with minimal development effort.
Hero API – A comprehensive API designed for fully custom integrations, enabling complete flexibility and control over patient interactions and data.
Hero Elements: Embed functionality quickly
For developers who want to embed Hero’s functionality directly into their own applications, Hero Elements provide the fastest route to integration. These React and Web components allow you to offer patient engagement features without building everything from scratch.
Key benefits of Hero Elements:
Rapid deployment – Integrate NHS-ready components in hours, not months.
Minimal coding required – No need to develop and maintain complex UI elements.
Built-in compliance – Designed to meet NHS security and interoperability standards.
Flexible options – Available as React components and Web components.
