The matter of healthcare software typology is complex and can be approached from different perspectives. For example, solutions can be classified by the market niche: Pharmaceuticals , Biotechnology , Telemedicine , Wellness and life sciences , Senior care , Women’s health The other way to look at healthcare software development is to categorize products by the target audience. Some software is created for the patients, other is for the medical experts, and some is for the healthcare facility’s staff that is not directly involved in providing actual treatment (e.g., consultants, clerks, technicians, etc.)   Another approach is a classification based on the intended use when the software is divided into groups by its purpose. Data management solutions , Software for consultations , Medical diagnostics software , Research and trial management tools , Supply chain management software , Distribution solutions
