Clinica Brige modernizes care and saves hundreds of hours with a digital health portal

Who is Clínica Brige, and what role do they play in the healthcare or wellness ecosystem?

Clínica Brige is a private, innovation-driven medical clinic in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, led by Dr. Felipe Neris Nora. The clinic treats conditions such as pain, anxiety, insomnia, and phobias, combining medical care with technologies like wearables, virtual reality, bioimpedance, and AI-powered visualization tools to deliver a modern patient experience.

Brige offers medical consultations, lab exams, EKGs with fast telemedicine reports, immunizations, and psychological and nutritional support, serving over 100 visits per month while aiming to lead its local market in digital-first care.

The problem

What limitations did Clínica Brige face with lab result delivery, data workflows, or digital patient experience?

Before partnering with OpenHealth, Clínica Brige’s workflows could not keep up with its digital ambitions. Patients sent exam results via WhatsApp, assistants manually uploaded files, and reports were stored and shared only as static PDFs, making results hard to interpret and almost impossible to compare over time. Doctors lost valuable preparation time searching through fragmented documents, while patients struggled to understand their data, hurting satisfaction and loyalty. Together, these inefficiencies constrained both workflow productivity and the quality of the overall patient experience.

The solution

How did OpenHealth’s Health Portal, Lab API, or Digital Reports transform lab data delivery for Clínica Brige?

Clínica Brige adopted OpenHealth’s Health Portal and embedded it directly into its digital workflows, creating a unified experience for both doctors and patients. Separate access areas let clinicians and patients upload and view health documents—including lab results, EKGs, and medical notes—within the same portal. All lab data, regardless of source, is harmonized and displayed in a single digital lab report with trends, markers, and visualizations.

Patients can now securely view their reports from a phone or browser without installing an app or creating an account, while the portal doubles as a centralized record of all medical documents and supports secure sharing across devices. This shift turned the Health Portal into Brige’s core digital front door for results, communication, and longitudinal follow-up.

The impact

What measurable improvements did Clínica Brige achieve after implementing OpenHealth’s digital health infrastructure?

By replacing WhatsApp-based workflows with OpenHealth’s Health Portal, Clínica Brige eliminated hundreds of hours of manual administrative work each year and removed bottlenecks around result collection and preparation. Physicians now enter consultations better informed, having already reviewed harmonized lab and exam data, which strengthens clinical decisions and improves the quality of interactions. Patients benefit from clear, intuitive digital reports and easy mobile access, boosting satisfaction and reinforcing Brige’s reputation as a modern, tech-forward clinic. At the same time, the clinic avoided the cost of building its own technical infrastructure or hiring additional staff, freeing resources to focus on growth, innovation, and expanding services.
