Building a simple Clinic OS for doctors and small clinics in India. Looking for feedback

I’ve been thinking about how a lot of smaller clinics still manage appointments, patient history, reports, staff coordination, and follow-ups through registers, WhatsApp, Excel, or completely separate tools.

So I’ve started building Clinic OS, a simple system to manage most of this from one place.

The idea is to cover things like:

  • Patient bookings and appointments
  • Patient records and visit history
  • Prescriptions, reports, and documents
  • Basic clinic and staff management
  • Automated reminders and follow-ups
  • Reports and analytics
  • Assistance around diagnosis and repetitive documentation
  • Eventually, billing, inventory, lab workflows, and other clinic operations

The goal isn't to build another complicated hospital management system with hundreds of features that nobody uses.

I want it to be something a doctor or a small clinic can actually start using without needing training or dedicated IT staff.

It's still a work in progress, and before building too much, I’d really like to speak with doctors, clinic owners, compounders, receptionists, or anyone who has worked closely with clinic operations.

What are the most frustrating parts of running a clinic today?

What do you currently use for appointments and patient records?

And if you’ve tried clinic management software before, what made you stop using it?

Would really appreciate any feedback. If anyone is interested, I’d also be happy to share an early version and get your thoughts.
