Secure medical chat & referral
We run software that connects health workers.
“Use of Vula in surgery has dramatically reduced the number of phone calls needed for patient referrals from our referring level 1 hospitals. Together with the real-time chat functionality, this enables us to appropriately guide referral to level 2 and give clinical advice.”
— Dr Riaan Duvenage, Head Clinical Surgery, Worcester Hospital
