HealthPlix Technologies, India’s largest EMR platform for doctors, announced the positive impact of its ROBIN dashboard on over 4900+ individual doctor clinics in 300+ cities across 16 specialties. ROBIN is a one-of-a-kind dashboard used by doctors as a patient relationship management (PRM) tool and a clinical research tool. Further, doctors are utilizing ROBIN’s versatile features every week, including repeat visits analysis, tracking chronic and acute cases, gender split, and patient footfall.
Particularly, ROBIN has had a marked impact on individual doctor clinics from the top 5 specialties like Cardiologists, Consulting Physicians, Diabetologists, Gynaecologists, and General Physicians. These top doctors account for over 50 percent of users who frequently utilize the dashboard for in-depth analysis of clinic analytics and trends and have initiated over 32000 active events. These events involve feature clicks, views, and actions taken to analyze trends, access visual charts, and review crucial patient vital reports.
Over 1140 doctors in the top 5 specialties using the dashboard have patients with more than 3 repeat visits with them and 149 doctors have patients with more than 15 repeat visits. The increasing usage trend demonstrates doctors’ inclination towards using dashboards like ROBIN and underscores its importance in their daily practice management.
The dashboard has grown to be the only patient relationship management tool that also supports them in publishing research papers via patient summary view. The patient summary view enables doctors to analyze their historical prescriptions within a few clicks, helping them to identify different cohorts of patients, and the treatment given to them and publish research papers on various medical topics.
Mr Chaitanya Raju, Executive Director, HealthPlix Technologies highlights ROBIN’s transformative potential stating, “HealthPlix has built intelligence into EMR with ROBIN, enabling doctors to access valuable patient health information.

The dashboard usage trends suggest a 10x engagement rate by doctors which is a validation of the healthcare engineering we do at HealthPlix. Indian doctors require digital tools that can transform traditional clinics into digital ones, and we provide exactly that.”
