It runs in a browser on computers, tablets and phones without installation, with Apple and Android apps also available. Listed integrations are Stripe, Viva Wallet and Google Calendar, which MERIDIQ says are included at no extra cost. Its public API is labeled Alpha, with tokens and endpoints for users to try their own integrations. MERIDIQ says patient data is encrypted, stored in the EU/EEA, backed up regularly and protected by role-based permissions and activity logs. A free 14-day trial includes all features. The Booking plan costs £5 per user per month; other listed plans cost £8 a month, £16 a month and £22 per user per month.

Portrait Care combines clinic software, services, and supply purchasing for medical and wellness practices. Its web platform includes EHR, scheduling, payments, charting, inventory, a patient CRM, online booking, reminders, and automated email and SMS campaigns. Patients can use the portal to access information, schedule appointments, and communicate with clinic teams. Clinics can track stock, automate ordering, and buy products from suppliers through Portrait. The company also describes access to a nationwide medical director network, Good Faith Exam workflows, clinic templates, ongoing medical support, and marketing services such as custom websites, SEO, ads, social content, and campaign automation. Launch help covers licensing, formation, branding, and setup, with coaching for expanding locations. Portrait names medical spas, weight loss clinics, dermatology and plastic surgery practices, IV hydration lounges, and functional medicine clinics as customers.
