Clinical and practice management software vendor MedicalDirector has taken a novel approach to the user interface for its new web-based product Helix, producing a clean and uncluttered look that mirrors the workflow of the user and introduces a three-panel view for GPs that shows the patient's history, their health summary and their future follow-up needs.

MedicalDirector announced last month that it would launch a completely redesigned system for new and existing customers looking to move to the cloud, although the company emphasises that its existing on-site product MedicalDirector 3 will continue to be supported and improved.
